Hi there.

This is just a booklet for you to buy and do your cross stitch of the picture that you just asked for.

The floss are 122 skeins of DMC that you require to purchase beside the pattern. Have fun.

If you contact Kristi here at ECS she will add the floss colors and number of skeins you will need to the supply list. She is very good about doing that. It uses 122 different colors of floss so I hope you have your own stash already.

That's a lot of different floss colors! But it looks like it's a pretty detailed pattern. There is another pattern that has a very similar design but it shows a man and woman in "nautical" attire. Can't remember name of it, "Cape May"? It's designer is Nancy Spruance. It's cute!

Thanks for all the assistance, guys. At 122, I'm out. I have a 121 color threshold!

And it looks like most of these would be either close shades of beige or close shades of black. I'll leave this one for someone who has no future plans for his/her eyesight after finishing this project.

Hello,

I have added the supplies and pattern information for this design to the website. You should see it all listed there now. I believe there are only 44 DMC colors used in this pattern but some require more skeins than just 1. Hope this helps :) Thank you!

I apologize, I made a boo-boo. This American Gothic cross stitch uses up to 79 DMC colors for this cross stitch pattern.
