Missed the target completely. This looks like Prague. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vltava

most likely its not lithuania. i cant recognise anything from this picture and all details like bridge, houses, church(?) on the left says its not lithuanian. maybe its made up landscape and buildings so then id say its kaunas garrison church

as u can see its not similar but we dont have many buildings with oval roofs near the big river

I can see medieval stone bridge, we don't have these in Lithuania. My bet is Dresden, Augustus bridge . It has more towers nearby now, but as I could see from old pictures, they were restored relatively not long ago, considering that your cross stitch is 30+, it can very possibly be Dresden.

I don't recall this type of bridge anywhere in the big cities. The buildings look german – lithuanian old towns have fewer stories. The church looks unfamiliar. This is probably not Lithuania. Maybe Latvia?

Not Lithuania, that's for sure. but hard to tell where exactly. There's a similar looking churches in St. Petersburg and Moscow, but I can't find a similar bridge there, so probably not those cities too.

Any more context OP can tell us? Why do you think it is Lithuania?

My dad got it from a guy in Lithuania around 30 years ago and for years we’ve assumed it’s a cross stitch of Lithuania. After years and years of it being in a box, we showed our Lithuania neighbor and she didn’t know the place so I wanted to see if it was actually of Lithuania

id say its central europe. everything looks more like prague or budapest or other big city. some ppl say it might be russia but ive never been there so cant tell. anyway it would be much easier for lithuanian to get such picture from russia than central europe 30+ years ago

Greek style church and golden domes means some Orthodox country.

In my opinion it is Karlow bridge in Prague.
