About this pattern

A full red heart with a darker red rim and, in the middle of it, one white fleur de lis tied with a gold band. The heart is stitched solid and its left half mirrors the right exactly. No names, date or wording are drawn. A keepsake heart for a wedding or anniversary card, a ring cushion or a 5 inch hoop. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 51 stitches and uses four thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 51 high: 1,838 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Red 321, Medium Garnet 815, Winter White 3865 and 1 more).
