Colorful Abstract Cat Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The cat face is split into irregular geometric sections, each one a different bold colour. Cobalt blue on one cheek, coral red on the other, mustard yellow on the forehead, turquoise on the ear fill. Its kinda like a stained glass window but cat-shaped. The eyes are oversized ovals in white with black satin outlines that really pull the whole face forward. Sixteen colours in the total build at a density of 934 stitches per square inch, and its worth noting that all 16 show cleanly because the stitch angles shift per section.

Sizes run from 3.49 wide by 2.38 inches tall at 13139 stitches stretching to 7.5 across 5.12 inches at 35,861 stitches. Its a wide and flat shape compared to a square design, which makes it well-suited for tote bags, jacket backs and pillow panels. Ive put the 6-inch onto a navy canvas tote this past february for a valentines gift set and the colours popped completely against the dark background. A customer last spring bought 4 of these for a cat-lover present and told me the geometric colouring was what sold it, not just the cat shape itself.

Hoop a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser for knits and stretchy bags. Tearaway handles fine on firm woven cotton or canvas. The my main digitising tool build sequences the colour blocks from back to front so each section sits cleanly on top of the previous without thread showing through the seams. And because the fill is geometric rather than organic, each colour block uses different fill directions which keeps the density visually interesting.

Pop it on the front of a canvas tote for a gallery-style cat bag. Use the 4-in face on a plain cushion cover centre for a quick home accent. Stitch the largest run on the jacket back. Add it to a fabric book cover or tablet sleeve for a colourful daily carry item.
