About this pattern

A round night scene of a fire well alight: one tall blaze with three tongues, red outside with an orange flame, a pale yellow middle and a white core, standing up out of a heap of three brown logs on dark green grass. Six orange sparks drift up on one side and a pale yellow crescent moon hangs on the other, against a dark blue sky that is stitched all over, so the picture is a full disc. A piece for a 5 inch hoop. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 53 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 53 high: 2,217 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Red 321, Ultra Dark Pistachio Green 890 and 6 more).
