Stitching Time: 43 hours, 42 minutes
This is Let's Learn From Our Cat by Ursula Michael. It's stitched on light blue 14-count Aida, but I changed all the colors to be more compatible with my granddaughter's room. I attempted to do this as charted, but ran into several problems and made quite a few mistakes.
The biggest mistake I made was not centering it vertically on the correct center line. I took some of the fabric left on the bottom and added it to the top. Because I made several mistakes in the big cat, I was left with about 4 squares at the top which I hope will be enough for framing.

Because of this, I wasn't able to stitch the words: Lessons From Our Cats in the big cat. At the suggestion of a couple of people, I charted the cats' names instead.
This will be a birthday present for my granddaughter who will turn 12 at the end of this month.

Congratulations on yet another Happy Dance, and this time a bigger one!
Four squares should just about be enough for framing. I hope Kyleigh likes it. :)
It turned out beautifully, I'm sure she'll love it!
You can always add some fabric to the top if you need it for framing, I've had to do that before.
A lovely and special gift for your granddaughter.
Fantastic finish. Hope you can get it framed. Just depends on the framer I think.
