About this pattern

A leafy green family tree with a red heart in the middle of its crown, its roots showing below the ground, and the word FAMILY in red block capitals underneath. The crown is rounded masses of leaf in mid green inside a dark brown outline, paler green along its upper left edges and darker green underneath. A dark brown trunk widens at its foot and crosses a level strip of pale green grass; below it a tap root and a forked root each side spread about as wide as the crown. The outline of the tree mirrors left to right. Full crosses only. It is 45 by 61 stitches and uses five thread colors.

45 stitches wide by 61 high: 1,394 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Hunter Green 3346, Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
