Finished Unframed Thatch Cottage 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 that features a stone wall with a wood gate in front of a thatch cottage and lots of beautiful flowers and trees. There is a watering can on the brick wall and the cottage looks very peaceful with a full background meaning the full design area is stitched and no fabric is showing.

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 3-1/4" from top to bottom and 5" from side to side.

This detailed tranquil design is stitched on a piece of cloth measuring 8" 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.
