Framed Finished Cross Stitch Piece - Fishing Cat with Blue Vest

Handmade Cross Stitch Piece.

This is a beautifully stitched cross stitch piece from an estate auction. It was stitched by Barbara from Ohio in 2004.

The pattern used features a cute gray cat dressed in a blue vest and fisherman hat with an actual fishing hook stuck in the hat.  The fishing cat has gold beads for buttons on the vest and vest pocket.   The cat has an open can of fishing worms and two fishing baskets.  The fishing pole is a stick with a red heart bead on the end of the string.  The stitcher, Barbara, has signed the piece at the bottom, "BS 2004".

The cross stitch piece is made using DMC cotton threads.  It is stitched on antique white linen and is stitched 2 over 2.

The piece of cross stitch art has been professionally framed.  It is in a nice wood frame that is in great condition with no chips or cracks.  It is finished on the back using black paper.  The piece has glass over the front.

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

The wood frame measures 1" thick.  The framed piece altogether measures 9-3/8" from top to bottom and 7-3/8" from side to side.

This framed cross stitch piece does have glass on the front and will be shipped in a box with plenty of packing material to keep it safe.  

It will come ready to hang on the wall and enjoy.
