New Design – Large Applique Dangling Cat

This playful design based on our crazy cat Percy is created in multiple hoopings and creates a cat that appears to dangle over the edge of your project.

It’s perfect for cushions, quilts, bags and fun feature projects.

For Our Newer Stitchers

If you’re newer to Kreative Kiwi designs, you may have missed some of our most loved Mandala designs.

The Mandala Collection Bundle includes four coordinated projects:

• Mandala Placemat
• Mandala Bag
• Mandala Notebook Cover
• Mandala Glasses Case

Each project includes step-by-step photo instructions and a full video tutorial, making it a wonderful set for learning in-the-hoop techniques.

Many of our long-time customers have already stitched these — but they remain a favourite for good reason!
