About this pattern

A little blue house seen from the front, with three red hearts rising from its chimney where puffs of smoke would be, each heart bigger than the one below it. The house has a low gray roof, a red chimney on the right slope, a red door in a white frame with a pale blue pane over it, a white window with pale blue glass on each side, and a strip of green lawn. Dark brown outline. No words are drawn. A piece for a new home card or a 4 by 6 inch frame. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 62 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

35 stitches wide by 62 high: 966 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Medium Antique Blue 931, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
