Finished Unframed White Duck Pattern 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 chart used is of a white duck with a very ornate background pattern.  The duck is surrounded by a blue check pattern, then a blue and green stitched frame and finally outside the frame are smaller white ducks with blue polka dots.  Very cute country piece.

This item is stitched using all DMC cotton floss.  It is stitched on blue Aida cloth.  The stitching is 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 wall hanging.

The finished stitched piece is rectangle and measures approximately 6" from top to bottom and 5-1/2" from side to side.

This adorable country duck pattern is stitched on a piece of cloth measuring 10" from top to bottom and 16-1/2" from side to side so there is plenty of fabric to be able to finish the piece out however you wish.  What is nice about this one is their is enough fabric to be able to use to make a pillow backing if desired.    

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.
