About this pattern

A big red map pin with a white heart in its round head, standing with its point on a folded paper map. The pin is red with a deeper red shade down its right side. The map is folded in four panels like a concertina, its top and bottom edges zigzagging; the panels are light green and darker green in turn, with a gold road running across all four, a second road running down the left panel and a patch of pale blue water at the lower right. The outlines mirror left to right. No place names, lettering or compass are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

42 stitches wide by 44 high: 1,090 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Red 321, Light Yellow Green 3348, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 5 more).
