About this pattern

A cherub sitting on a cloud and hugging a big red heart to its chest. It looks straight at you: a round baby face with pale blond hair, two dark eyes, pink cheeks and a small smile. A white wing with pale blue shading lifts out on each side, an arm comes down each side of the heart, and two bare feet rest on the cloud in front. The cloud is white with pale blue scallops of shadow along its base. A dark brown outline runs round every part, and the left half mirrors the right exactly. The wings and the cloud are stitched in white, so it shows best on a natural or colored fabric.

47 stitches wide by 40 high: 1,158 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Tawny 951 and 4 more).
