Since I know Cathy loves her cats I couldn't resist putting a sleeping kitten and the silkie with the girl with a cat in her hat.
Finding a silkie that would work on a cream-on-cream block PLUS I wanted a cat and it had to be Victorian wasn't all that easy. So I was tickled to find this image. I bought a whole skein of yarn just to get the right texture for the kitten's fluffy pillow (I used about 9".). The pearl buttons on the upper left came from a pair of vintage elbow-length kid gloves. The buttons in the buttons trail were treasures from my secret sister.....
