About this pattern

A small teal helicopter flies to the left carrying a big red heart, which hangs level under its skid on two short cords. The helicopter has a rounded cabin with two pale blue windows, a long gray rotor blade on a short mast, a tail boom that rises to a fin with a gray tail rotor, a darker teal belly and a gray skid on two struts. The heart is red with a darker red shade down its right side. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 44 by 48 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

44 stitches wide by 48 high: 789 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Turquoise 3810, Red 321 and 4 more).
