This fetive house was originally released as a stitch-a-long, but now you can purchase the whole house fully decorated for this merry time of year!
There are options included with the template, where you can choose your border (one a bit more intricate than the other) and also what to put on top of your gate posts, a red-breasted robin, a cardinal, or a cheeky elf. For each of these, there are a couple of half stitches needed for the smallest details.
If you wish, you can also choose to add a sign for your gate. Additionally, there are two garland options: one features foliage, and the other has star motifs and tiny candy canes.
You could certainly stitch this chart in mono, but I do feel a few touches of colour suit it well. Please be aware that there is a little bit of negative space stitching (so the colour of your material will be used to create a paler area, so it might be best not to choose something too dark for your fabric, or else you may decide you can 'reverse' these areas, with a bit of creative stitching with white thread.
