About this pattern

A little red house seen from the front in flat color with no outline. It has a tall navy blue roof with a red heart in the gable, a red chimney on the middle of the ridge, a row of twelve single gold stitches under the eaves, two white four-pane windows and a navy door with a square gold light. It stands on bare cloth with no ground line, and the left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 37 stitches and uses four thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 37 high: 769 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Bright Red 666, Navy Blue 336, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
