Finished the Cat ATCs

Remember this piece of cross stitch I picked up half done at the thrift store and finished?  Well, once I completed it, I cut it up into little rectangles and made ATCs from it.  Here they are:

Since I finished up the stitching I don't look at them as cheating!  lol  I also found a piece of brazilliam embroidery in a nasty little plastic frame and cut it down into an ATC as well.

I think this bit of embroidery will be much happier as an ATC than it was in that nasty frame.
In order to use pieces of embroidery for ATCs, I first iron double faced adhesive to the back.  Then I cut them out to the desired size - the adhesive holds the stitching threads secure so they don't unravel.  I peel off the paper on the other side of the adhesive and iron them onto pieces of wool felt which serves as their backing.  I finish them up by blanket stitching around the edges by hand.  Voila!

The whole time I was working on these, Sheldon's lullaby from The Big Bang Theory keep running through my head:

Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty.

Little Ball of Fur,

Happy Kitty, Sleepy Kitty

Purr, Purr, Purr

Now they are finished I hope I will be able to get this song out of my head!
