About this pattern

London at sunset as a wide strip, stitched solid inside a thin dark frame. Four landmarks stand in a row as dark navy silhouettes: the clock tower known as Big Ben with its round clock face lit pale yellow, a great observation wheel with spokes standing on two legs, the dome of St Paul's Cathedral with a small cross on top, and Tower Bridge with its two towers, high walkway and sweeping chains. Behind them the sky is in two flat bands, peach above and pale yellow below, with no sun drawn; in front runs the blue river with seven short pale ripples.

90 stitches wide by 36 high: 3,240 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Pale Yellow 744 and 3 more).
