About this pattern

The state of Michigan as two flat mid blue map shapes with a navy edge: the Upper Peninsula lying across the top with the Keweenaw Peninsula pointing up from it, and the mitten of the Lower Peninsula below with its thumb. A plain red heart sits low in the mitten; it marks no town. The shapes are a tidied drawing of the map with no islands, and the two peninsulas are separate pieces with bare cloth between them. There is no lettering. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 60 stitches and uses three thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 60 high: 1,324 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Dark Baby Blue 322, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Red 321).
