About this pattern

A painted sign on a wooden post that reads BROOM PARKING in two lines of dark capital letters on a pale straw-colored board with a dark frame. Two witch's brooms are parked under it, one each side of the post, each standing upright on its gold bristles with a brown handle and a violet binding. Post and brooms stand on a strip of green grass. Everything but the words mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 53 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 53 high: 1,783 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Straw 3822, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Black 310 and 4 more).
