Finished Unframed Rooster & Chicken 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 Ohio.

The pattern used is of a very colorful rooster and a white chicken in front of a country scene.  The background shows a wooden window, pail with a flower arrangement and a basket with eggs.  The chicken is roosted in a comfy nest of straw and the rooster looks very protective of her.  Outside the window is the rolling hills and colorful sunrise.

This item is stitched using all DMC cotton floss.  It is stitched on off white Aida cloth.  The stitching in very detailed and is stitched 1 over 1 which gives the overall piece a much more detailed and delicate look.  

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 8-1/4" from top to bottom and 7-1/4" from side to side.

This country scene pattern is stitched on a piece of cloth measuring 10" from top to bottom and 8" from side to side so there is not a lot of fabric around the piece, but should be plenty 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.
