Every year, March 17th. St. Patrick's Day, heralds another year of drinking, shenanigans, and green-colored everything. I'm personally looking forward to curling up on my couch and chugging down a large Shamrock Shake from McDonald's in one disgusting but impressive gulp.

While all of this might serve as a fun excuse to be belligerent, there's actually another reason why March 17th is a very special day. You see, March 17th is the feast day of one very special saint, who is often grossly overlooked by the history books. Her name is Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, and she's the Patron Saint of you guessed it: CATS.

Stitched on 32 count linen using threads from Color and Cotton, Classic Colorworks, DMC. Gnetle Arts, and Weeks Dye Works threads. Stitch Count 164w x 225h. Finished Size: 10.3" x 14.1".

Also required but not listed is Colour and Cotton Birdhouse thread.
