About this pattern

A blue and white tile in the Delft style: a small village painted in blue on a white square. A church with a pointed spire and a cross stands in the middle with a little gabled house at each side on a patch of pale blue ground, a small pale blue cloud floats each side of the spire, and a blue triangle fills each corner inside a dark blue edge line. The design is an exact mirror image left to right, and the whole square is stitched, white ground included. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 51 stitches and uses four thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,601 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Baby Blue 3755 and 1 more).
