Pattern includes 1 design, 12½" x 16" for cross-stitch picture, with crosses 7 to the inch.

Here is a cross-stitch picture with the feeling of a 19th century print. Interesting souvenir of the "iron horse" age for the walls of a modern home. The picture has been planned for twenty-two different colors in six-strand cottons. There is a great thrill awaiting you as you watch the locomotive come to life when putting in the colors. A chart for placing the colors is included in the pattern. Finished with a black frame and linen-covered mat, the picture measures 17" x 20". The picture is also attractive framed without a mat.
