Christmas Cat - Barbara Ana Designs

 Barbara Ana's Christmas Cat is wearing a ballooning dress that merges into a wonderful landscape.

The top part of the dress features a white collar, puffy sleeves with different prints, and a fun body asymetric motif that includes a fish. The cat is wearing a knitted round hat with red and white motifs.

Her arms are spread out, holding in one hand a pot of Christmas roses, and in the other a Christmas tree. Ornaments hang below including a mini Santa on a sledge.

The cat's crinoline-shaped skirt is split patchwork-like into 3 parts, with a central holiday scene, showing Santa trecking in the snow, heading for a sleepy village. It's amazing how much detail Barbara Ana manages to fit into that tiny cross stitch scene, including white hares hopping about, various trees, quaker motifs both in the sky and providing texture in the snow.
