About this pattern

A plain little house seen from the front with three hearts in a row on its white wall: a big red heart at each side and a smaller gold heart between them, all three with their points on one level. The house has a low blue roof with eaves and a blue chimney on the right slope, and it stands on a strip of green grass. It has no door and no window: the hearts fill the front. Everything but the chimney mirrors left to right. Dark brown outline; the grass has none. No wording is drawn. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 38 stitches and uses six thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 38 high: 1,687 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Medium Antique Blue 931, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
