About this pattern

The front of a white cathedral with three towers, drawn after the old cathedral on the square in New Orleans. Each tower ends in a dark blue-gray spire with a cross on top; the middle tower is the tallest and carries a small gold clock under its belfry opening. The white front is crossed by pale gray bands and lines, with gray arched windows, three brown doors at the foot (the middle one widest) and a gray pavement underneath. The front mirrors left to right apart from the hand of the clock. Dark brown outline. No lettering is drawn. Full crosses only.

43 stitches wide by 60 high: 1,656 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318 and 4 more).
