About this pattern

The state of Louisiana as one flat blue map shape with a navy edge: the leg of the boot at the upper left, the foot running out to the right and the river delta trailing off the toe. A gold fleur de lis sits in the leg. The coast is tidied, not surveyed: the lakes, bays and barrier islands are left out. No lettering, seal or team colors. A piece for a 5 inch hoop, a tote pocket or a pillow corner. Full crosses only. It is 52 by 48 stitches and uses three thread colors.

52 stitches wide by 48 high: 1,477 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783).
