You would need a very large brick

Hi there


I google it for U and all what I had seen quilting one that U can made from different animals. I had gone to Pinterest/Cat as door stop in cross stitch. Have fun.


PS: Do U ever remember where did U get it from? Maybe they do have another one

Isn't that too delicate to wrap around a brick? Just take some burlap and draw something on it - like your initials. We used to use DH's combat boots, he wore a size 12 EE. Mine were only 8.5, so they didn't work so well. He would get so angry and the kids and I would laugh our heads off! :)

I just came back to this site, and this is an older post, so maybe you don't need the answer now - but...
It seems like I am ALWAYS changing the sizes of things, since I always want to use them for different things than they were designed for. This rectangle "could" be used for a brick cover, but there are some "IF"s.
IF you do some math with the stitch count and the thread count of the fabric. and IF you are willing to stitch on finer gauge fabric. IF you are willing to "wrap" the design, allowing the tail to run over onto the end of the brick, for example. And IF you are willing to do a little math. I just happen to have an old brick holding my dining room door, so I went to measure it. The largest side of the brick is just over 3 1/2" inches by about 7 1/2" inches.

NOW, 14 count aida fabric has 14 stitches per inch. Times 3 1/2" equals 49 stitches. Times 7 1/2" equals 105 stitches. SO... Let's say stitch count for the cat is 50 stitches tall by 108 stitches wide. It would be perfect for a brick. BUT this design is pretty detailed and probably has more stitches than that.

Don't change the design, change the fabric. 18 count Aida fabric allows about 63 stitches tall by 135 wide. 28 count linen (sewn over one thread) would be 98 x 210; 36 count linen (over one) would be 126 x 270 stitches.

If you use fine linen for this project, I would wrap the brick (at least the top) with quilt batting or thick felt to prevent wear on the fabric.
