About this pattern

Two white geese stand beak to beak on a strip of green grass, one the mirror of the other, with a red heart above and between them. Each goose has an orange beak, a dark eye, a long neck, a blue bow tie, a pale gray wing patch, a turned-up tail and orange legs and feet. The geese are outlined in dark brown and the heart has no outline. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 49 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,210 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Pearl Gray 415 and 5 more).
