About this pattern

A new home keepsake in two ruled panels. In the upper panel a white house with a red-edged roof and a white chimney stands on a strip of green, with a red heart on its front and a blue door with a white letter slot. In the lower panel an old-fashioned gold door key lies on its side: a round bow with a hole through it, a collar, a straight shank and a plain bit. No name, date, number or wording is drawn. A piece for a new home card or a small frame. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 51 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 51 high: 980 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865, Medium Topaz 783 and 4 more).
