About this pattern

A village street on a snowy evening. Under a dark blue sky dotted with falling snow stand a small snowy spruce, a red house with a peaked white roof, a blue-gray church with a white spire and a pale yellow cross, and a low red cottage with a chimney. Every window is lit pale yellow: two in each house, one in the church tower and one in each aisle. The ground is white with a pale blue band. Nothing festive is drawn, so it suits all winter. The whole picture is stitched, with no outline. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 42 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 42 high: 2,688 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Medium Navy Blue 311, Winter White 3865, Very Light Antique Blue 3752 and 5 more).
