About this pattern

A white half-timbered house seen from the front, gable end on, under a steep red roof: the timber-framed town house of Germany, which many will also read as Tudor. Dark brown posts, beams and slanting braces divide the white plaster into panels, with a row of three diagonal crosses between the two rows of windows and a king post and struts in the gable. Four pale blue windows of two panes, two on each floor, each have a window box of red flowers and green leaves below them, and a plain brown door stands in the middle of the ground floor. The house stands on a strip of green grass.

39 stitches wide by 48 high: 1,286 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 3 more).
