A cat resting beneath blossom. A paw against weathered stone. Leaves gathering the last light of the day.

Cats Garden by Stitchesly brings these small encounters into a two-volume hand embroidery reference collection. Across 80 studies, cats become the centre of a changing garden, inviting you to look closely at posture, fur, foliage and the spaces between them.

One scene, two ways of seeing

Every numbered study includes a pair of images: A, the drawing reference, and B, the digital embroidery interpretation. Follow the composition from drawn form to suggested thread texture, then develop your own choices of fabric, colour and stitch.

Fourteen accompanying essays explore feline expression, directional fur, botanical detail, reflected light, layered garden spaces and the journey from a visual study to a personal textile.

Inside the collection

  • Volume I: Among Blossoms and Orchard Paths. Studies 01–40 move through flowering canopies, courtyard surfaces, orchard encounters and meadow passages.
  • Volume II: After Rain, Beneath Leaves and Evening Light. Studies 41–80 explore rain, woodland shade, shared garden spaces and evening colour.

Each volume contains 40 studies, 80 paired images and seven essays across 116 pages.

Your digital edition

  • Two full-quality PDF books in English.
  • 232 pages in total, including covers.
  • 80 studies and 160 drawing and embroidery images.
  • Landscape format, 11 × 8.5 inches.
  • Linked contents for moving between essays and study sections.
  • Approximately 332 MB per main PDF; allow time for the larger downloads.
  • A separate 16-page Essential Needlework Handbook introducing 30 hand embroidery stitches.

Make the study your own

Begin with a scene that holds your attention. Observe its main shapes, sample a small area of fur or foliage, and build a palette around the mood you want to keep. The collection leaves room for your own materials and interpretation.

For further texture ideas, read our guide to layering embroidery stitches, threads and fabrics. Discover more projects in our hand embroidery pattern and stitch guides, or explore other subjects in the Digital Embroidery Books collection.

About the artwork: The drawing and embroidery images are AI-generated visual references. The embroidery plates suggest textile effects and are not photographs of completed hand-stitched samples. The two Cats Garden volumes are visual studies, rather than step-by-step project charts or tested thread recipes. The separate bonus handbook introduces general stitch techniques. Machine embroidery files are not included.

Digital product only. No printed book, embroidery kit or materials are shipped.

Personal-use edition

Enjoy the books for your own viewing, printing and embroidery practice. Please do not share, resell or redistribute the digital files, reproduce the book for sale, or incorporate its artwork into commercial products.
