About this pattern

A house window in summer, seen from outside, with a window box full of red flowers. The window has a white frame and four panes of pale blue glass, and a green louvred shutter is folded back on each side. Under it sits a terracotta window box as wide as the window, planted with dark green leaves and three red flowers that stand up in front of the glass; each flower has four rounded petals and a yellow center, and the middle one stands a little higher. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 55 by 37 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

55 stitches wide by 37 high: 1,933 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
