Ringed round with mushrooms and vines, and surrounded by a cloud of butterflies, this lovely goddess embodies the magic of all that is green and growing. Dressed in a gown of muted browns and greens, with astrological signs on the skirt, she beautifully reflects her connection to the element of earth. Touches of specialty floss and tiny beads add just the right amount of texture and sparkle to this outstanding design.
This cross stitch pattern measures 219 stitches wide by 163 stitches tall. The cross stitch pattern spans 8 pages, and is printed single-sided, on unbound sheets in a clear plastic bag for protection. The pattern itself is graphed in black and white symbols, with traces of color to show backstitching and beads. There are tables showing the DMC colors you'll need, as well as the specialty floss and bead requirements. The front has a color photo of the finished design.

Remember to leave several additional inches as a border on each side, to facilitate framing your project when it is finished.
