About this pattern

A small beach landscape stitched from edge to edge: a red and white striped umbrella on a dark pole stands in pale sand, with a band of darker damp sand, the sea in two blues and a pale blue sky behind it. Four short white wave lines lie on the sea and a thin line of white foam runs along the water's edge. A gold sun hangs at the upper left and a red starfish lies on the sand at the lower right. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 42 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 42 high: 2,688 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Light Straw 3822, Turquoise 597 and 5 more).
