Finished Unframed Hatchet Inn Pub Cross Stitch Piece -Stitched 1 Over 1

Handmade Cross Stitch Piece.

This is a beautifully stitched cross stitch piece from an estate auction. It was stitched by Violet from Florida.

The pattern used is a vintage cross stitch pattern from Cross My Heart leaflet 89 that was published in 1993. The leaflet features English pubs and The Hatchet Inn is one of them. It features a thatch roof cottage called The Hatchet Inn that is a pub in Lower Chute, Andover, Hamshire in England. It has red doors and looks so inviting.

This piece has been cleaned, deodorized and pressed.  It is ready to be used however you choose.  

This adorable pattern could be worked into a pillow or framed for a wall hanging.

The finished stitched piece is rectangle and measures approximately 3-1/2" from top to bottom and 6-1/2" from side to side.

This detailed cottage pattern is stitched on a piece of cloth measuring 8-3/4" from top to bottom and 10" from side to side so there is plenty of fabric to be able to use the scene however you wish.

Most people either frame these pieces or use them to make pillows, wall quilt hangings or stitch them into some other project.  

Quilters use them as accent pieces to quilt around to make a special quilt or pillow.
