The state of Alaska as one flat mid blue map shape with a navy edge, carrying the eight gold stars of the Alaska flag: the Big Dipper and the North Star. The North Star is a five-pointed star at the upper right; the seven stars of the Dipper are small plus shapes below it, with the bowl under the North Star and the handle falling away to the lower left. The map is a tidied drawing: the eastern border is one straight line, the panhandle runs down to the lower right, the Alaska Peninsula tapers to a navy point at the lower left, and the islands are left out. There is no lettering.
61 stitches wide by 52 high: 1,341 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783).
