About this pattern

A stone wishing well in the primitive manner: a wall of cream stones with tan mortar, two wooden posts, a red pitched roof, a crossbar with a crank at its right end and a blue bucket hanging over the well. It stands on a strip of green grass against a dark brown ground, inside a sawtooth border of blue and cream that runs all the way round. The whole piece is stitched from edge to edge, with no outline and no shading. Full crosses only. It is 36 by 42 stitches and uses six thread colors.

36 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,512 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Antique Blue 931, Ecru ECRU and 3 more).
