About this pattern

A row of five old-town buildings seen from the front, standing side by side on one street line. From the left: a half-timbered house with dark beams and a red-brown roof, a tall white church tower with a teal spire topped by a cross, a low house with an orange tiled roof and a chimney, a tall narrow pink house with a pointed gable, and a gray stone gate tower with a red-brown cone roof, two slit windows and a dark arched gateway. The windows are blue and the house doors brown. No town is named. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 60 by 44 stitches and uses eleven thread colors.

60 stitches wide by 44 high: 1,341 full cross stitches in 11 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Light Salmon 761 and 8 more).
