I found the pattern for the rooster at NeedleCrafter.
There are a lot of wonderful stitchery patterns that you can use for free and they make great gifts too.
After I added the border, I realized there was empty space, so even after I cut it down a little, it just had to be filled with more stitchery;) I used designs that I found on another free site, Broderie d' antan. It is in french, but you can find a library of designs and the site is updated, regularly with new ones.
I was going to make it into a hot pad, for a gift, but it was too pretty to get spills on.
So, I made it into a table mat, so it can be used that way or hung on a wall. Now if I can just part with it;)

Oh my gosh no he's too gorgeous to get spills on - I love how you added the elements to the corners, just brilliant! I love Needlecrafter, one of the first stitchery sites I found.

Gorgeous! Yes, way too pretty for a hot pad!
Oh my goodness, Debbie!!! What a fabulous piece! Although I would LOVE to have it in my home *wink* I don't think you should part with it... you would miss it for sure! Definitely a piece to display on a nice table or hang on the wall
It's just beautiful. I love all the fancy stitching in the corners. The whole piece looks a bit French! Love it!
