A to Z Challenge: G is for Garden Cat

Today is Day 7 of the A to Z Blogging Challenge.  In case you haven't heard of this yet, the idea is to blog (almost) every day in April, taking one day for each letter of the alphabet. 

Today we are back to pure wish list posts. 

G is for Garden Cat

Have you heard of the designer Jody Rice from Satsuma Street?  She's an Etsy designer who's probably most well known for her Pretty Little Cities patterns, which are renditions of famous cities throughout the world resembling Mary Blair's original artwork for It's a Small World at Disneyland. 

But a few weeks ago, Jody posted a picture of her newest pattern, Garden Cat.  And this instantly went on my MUST STITCH list.  The combination of shapes and colors is totally calling to me.  It's a very fun and whimiscal pattern. 

If I had to pick another Satsuma Street design to stitch, it would probably be this piece called Arcadia.  I'm pretty sure this is one of the first designs she did that led to the Pretty Little Cities patterns, but I could be wrong.  Those of you who are familiar with It's a Small World at Disneyland or Walt Disney World will understand why as a Disney fan this pattern appeals to me so much.  It's not a direct representation of the ride's exterior, but it definitely evokes the feel of the ride without coping it directly.  This pattern speaks to me in a way none of the other PLC patterns do. 

Come back tomorrow to find out what H is for!
