About this pattern

Three half-timbered houses built wall to wall, each different. On the left is a small white house with its gable to the front and a dark red door; in the middle a tall straw-yellow house with a steep gable, two panels of crossed timbers, a green door and a gray stone footing; on the right a long white house under a tiled red roof with a chimney, boxes of red flowers under its upper windows and a dark red door. Brown timbers divide the plaster, and the windows are pale blue. Dark brown outline round each house. Full crosses only. It is 58 by 48 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

58 stitches wide by 48 high: 1,905 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 6 more).
