About this pattern

The Earth seen from space with the Americas turned toward you: a blue globe with North and South America in green, white ice at both poles, two white streaks of cloud over the ocean and a darker band of shade down its right edge. A small gray Moon, shaded on the same side, stands off its upper right. Both are true circles in a navy outline. Full crosses only. It is 39 by 39 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

39 stitches wide by 39 high: 846 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Hunter Green 3346, Very Dark Navy Blue 939 and 4 more).
