*LITTLE HOUSE NEIGHBORHOOD*
Put your feet up and relax this summer with the Little House Neighborhood. This design has pulled elements from some well-known LHN designs. See if you can find them all! Colors were changed, a few fun elements were added and then the entire design was pieced together like a puzzle. The stitch count is 177 x 232, making this our largest piece ever. The model is stitched on Lakeside Linen's 28 count Pearled Barley and framed by East Side Mouldings. All of the threads are from DMC. "A little house, a little tree, a neighborhood for you and me". Original verse written by Diane Williams. Copyright 2008.
