The girl, who comes up to her mother's waist, has brown hair with a red bow, a pink dress and red shoes; her arms are held straight out, one hand beside her mother's and the other holding the string of a big red heart balloon. Each face has two dark eyes and a small pink mouth. A piece for Mother's Day. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 46 stitches and uses six thread colors.
