About this pattern

A red countertop gumball machine seen straight on. A red cap sits on a glass globe that holds ten round gumballs in three rows, in red, yellow, blue, green and pink, each with one white glint stitch. The spaces between the gumballs are dark, the top of the globe is pale blue glass, and a short white streak of light crosses its upper left. Below is a flared red stand with a square pale blue-gray plate that has a dark square knob in its middle, and a dark chute slot near the base. No maker's name, price or lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

25 stitches wide by 42 high: 814 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Very Light Antique Blue 3752 and 5 more).
