SSD-C107 Duck! (A Snow Family Design)

6 7/8” w by 6 3/8” h - 96 stitches w by 90 stitches h

This is a counted cross-stitch design
of a snow family having a snowball battle -
the males against the females.
The boy is ‘ducking’ for cover behind a snow fort wall.
His hat is lying where it landed
when it was knocked off of him.
The girl is cheering because a snowball she threw
is about to hit her father’s hat.
The dog is running back and forth between the two teams.
Glass beads are used for coal nuggets, the noses are
carrot colored, and they all have various wearing apparel
(hats and scarves and even a red hankie
tied around the dog’s neck).
