About this pattern

A front door in the Charleston manner, seen square on: tall pale blue double doors with three panels in each leaf and a dark knob where the two meet, set in a white door case under an arched fanlight glowing yellow. The wall is pink stucco, stitched solid, with a lit lantern of the gas-lamp kind on each side of the door and a round clipped shrub in a terracotta pot at each end of the gray stone step. The left half mirrors the right exactly. No house number, name or lettering is drawn. A panel for a 4 inch frame; the pink wall is the largest part of the stitching. Dark brown outline.

45 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,295 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Medium Melon 3706, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 7 more).
