About this pattern

A small framed sampler: the word SUMMER in green capitals across the top band and, under it, three boxes holding a pale yellow sun with gold rays, a wedge of watermelon with four dark seeds and a green rind, and a pink scoop of ice cream in a checked wafer cone. One dark brown line runs all the way round, with a line under the word and two between the pictures. Each picture is 16 stitches or less across and can be stitched alone as a mini. Full crosses only. It is 64 by 39 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 39 high: 1,031 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Hunter Green 3346, Medium Topaz 783 and 5 more).
