About this pattern

The words HOME SWEET HOME in plain blue-gray capitals around a storybook cottage: HOME SWEET on one line above it and HOME below, between two small flowers. The cottage has low white walls, a big slate-blue roof, a red chimney with two puffs of gray smoke drifting from it, a red door with a little window and a letter slot, a four-pane window on each side, and a straw-colored path across a strip of grass. A green line runs all the way round, with a red flower with a pale center at each corner and two more along each side. No date, name or other wording is drawn.

62 stitches wide by 62 high: 1,377 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Dark Antique Blue 930, Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 6 more).
