It is shaped like a mouse, and I’ve always found it fun and whimsical. It brought to mind the expression of being “quiet as a church mouse,” and the idea of silence and reverence during the holiday season. The still bells are a play on the idea of being quiet as well, with stars and snow sparkling in the window beyond adding a touch of holiday magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePATTERN DETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitch Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 wide x 123 high\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.4\" x 7.7\" on suggested fabric\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Fabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16-count Chalk Board Black Aida #355171 from Wichelt Imports, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFloss:\u003c\/strong\u003e DMC | 28, 32, 3863, 3790, 433, 760, 725, 745, 722, 502, 319, 907, 307, 900, 918, 928, 598, 3799, 648, 646, 3765, 550\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitches Used:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cross Stitch, Half Stitch, Back\/Straight Stitch, Star Stitch, Stem Stitch, St. George's Cross\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Model shown in a 6\" x 8\" frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis listing is for a printed paper pattern.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counting Puddles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50066355192056,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/0261\/3337\/files\/vLFgz8unDF1N1yXsLsvVEnjYZuMhkvqrX5PBi2c2.webp?v=1785277947","url":"https:\/\/starlightstitch.com\/products\/quiet-as-a-church-mouse-counting-puddles-cross-stitch-pattern-needlework-marketplace-2026","provider":"The Starlight Stitchery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
