About this pattern

A white stork stands side on, facing right, on two long red legs, with a pink cloth bundle hanging from the tip of its long red bill. The cloth is knotted over the bill with its two ends standing up, and in the middle of the bundle is a baby's round face with two shut eyes and a small straight mouth. The stork has a small dark eye, a long upright neck, a plain white body and dark gray flight feathers at the lower end of its back. Dark brown outline round every part. The stork is stitched in white, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric.

49 stitches wide by 47 high: 892 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Salmon 3712 and 3 more).
