If you caught my August update, you probably remember getting a little sneak peek of September’s cat. Now here’s the full reveal—and it was worth the wait! This month’s kitty brought a more subtle shift in color as we eased out of the peak summer heat.

The average daily temperatures in Burke ranged from 62.4ºF to 76.6ºF, so we had limited oranges and no blazing reds this time. It felt like a calm, steady transition into early fall, and I really love how that shows in the stitches.

Nine cats stitched and only three left to go for the year! It’s amazing to see how much of the piece is filled in now, and I can’t wait to watch the final months come together.
