About this pattern

The front of an adobe mission church. Two heavy bell towers with rounded tops stand either side of a stepped gable; each tower has a gold bell hanging in a dark arched opening and a dark cross on top, a third cross stands on the gable, and a stepped buttress leans against each outer wall. The front has a small arched window, a row of five rust beam ends and a turquoise double door under an arch. The walls are pale golden adobe with deeper orange shade down the right of each tower, and the church stands on a rust strip of ground. Dark brown outline round every part but the ground.

57 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,714 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Autumn Gold 3853 and 3 more).
