About this pattern

A Thanksgiving sampler of three framed compartments side by side. In the wide middle one a brown turkey faces front with five tail feathers fanned behind it, each banded red, orange and gold, and an orange beak, a red wattle and orange legs. On the left is an ear of corn, its kernels checkered gold and pale yellow, in a green husk. On the right is a sunflower with a brown center and gold and pale yellow petals on a straight green stem with two leaves. No lettering is drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 81 by 38 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

81 stitches wide by 38 high: 1,443 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Topaz 783, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 5 more).
