Finished Unframed White Ducks on Green 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 of a four white ducks with pink flowers (appear to be tulips) by a body of water.  One duck has ventured into the water, one is getting a drink, while the other two are playing around in the grass.

This item is stitched using all DMC cotton floss.  It is stitched on green 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 a circle and measures approximately 6-1/2" from top to bottom and 6-1/2" from side to side.

This adorable duck party pattern is stitched on a piece of cloth measuring 12" from top to bottom and 12" from side to side so there is plenty of fabric to be able to finish the piece out 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.
