A cat changes the shape of a room. A windowsill becomes a resting place, a folded cloth carries the weight of sleep, and a doorway holds a brief movement between light and shadow.

Cats at the Threshold follows these moments through 80 hand embroidery studies across two complete digital volumes. Each study pairs a drawing reference with an embroidery example, giving you two ways to observe the same scene before interpreting it in thread.

Part of the STITCHESLY Digital Embroidery Books collection, this set brings together domestic scenes, textile observation and practical essays in a landscape format.

Two volumes, one connected collection

Volume I: Windows, Linen & Quiet Passage contains Studies 01–40. Open windows, hanging curtains, folded linen, glazed pottery and worn thresholds provide a setting for studying pale fur, contact shadows and the structure of an interior.

Volume II: Everyday Gestures & Evening Rooms contains Studies 41–80. Woven seats, wooden furniture, stretching bodies, grooming gestures and pairs of resting cats lead into dark coats and evening light.

What is included

From observation to thread

Use the drawings to understand proportion, gesture and placement. Turn to the embroidery examples for ideas about color, texture, density and stitch direction.

The essays connect close observation with practical choices, from white fur in window light and the weight of linen to bodies in motion, dark fur against dark surroundings, and knowing when a scene has enough detail.

Choose your own materials and approach

This collection suits stitchers who enjoy selecting their own fabric, threads and working scale. It provides visual references and written guidance. Counted charts, fixed DMC lists, full-size transfer templates and tested stitch-by-stitch instructions for every study are not included.

For individual projects with design-specific instructions, explore our Hand Embroidery Pattern & Stitch Guides. Continue your reading through our Embroidery Guides & Inspiration.

Digital format and artwork

This purchase contains two PDF books. No physical book, supplies or finished embroidery is included, and the files are not machine embroidery programs.

The artwork is AI-generated and curated into the STITCHESLY collection. Drawings serve as base references; embroidery illustrations show possible stitched interpretations rather than photographed needlework.

Personal use

View and print the books for your own private reference and creative study. The digital files may not be shared, resold, redistributed or included in another product.
