About this pattern

The Earth drawn in the shape of a heart. Inside a navy outline the sea is pale blue and the land is green: North America fills the left lobe, Europe and the Middle East the right, and South America and Africa face each other across the Atlantic, with open ocean running down into the point. It shows the Atlantic side of the world only: eastern Asia, Australia and the Pacific are not on it, and no islands are drawn. The whole heart is stitched. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 59 stitches and uses three thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 59 high: 2,454 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Baby Blue 3755, Hunter Green 3346, Very Dark Navy Blue 939).
