A wooden toy train running to the right, for a new baby boy. A blue engine with a red cab roof, a white cab window, a pale yellow strip between cab and boiler and a pale yellow top to its funnel pulls three flat red wagons, and each wagon carries one pale yellow alphabet block: a blue B, a red O and a blue Y, so the blocks spell BOY from the back of the train to the engine. Short hooks join the wagons to each other and to the engine, the three wagons are identical, and all eight wheels are the same small dark round with a pale yellow hub. Dark brown outline. A wide, low strip, 4.
64 stitches wide by 20 high: 787 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Straw 3822, Red 321 and 2 more).
