Published in February 1992 as part of the Christmas Heirloom series under the Needle Adventures name*, this red diagonal band heart ornament turned up on eBay this week. Thanks to the kindness of the eBay seller, I have photos to share. If anyone has stitched this or has a better photo of the cover photo, please let me know.
According to my informant, the heart is approximately 3 1/3 inches by 3 1/4 inches.
The instructions are in the typical Needle Adventures style, with the ornament displayed hanging from an evergreen branch in front of a brick wall.
The piece is done on a line drawn canvas using 24 count Congress cloth.
Many thanks to the eBay seller for permission to share the photographs from the sale with Loretta's fans.

Needle Necessities overdyed cotton floss #152 "Moulin Rouge"*
Rainbow Gallery's Cresta d'Oro #C22 (red metallic)

beading needle
*Substitute ThreadworX cotton floss #1087 "Peppermint" for the Needle Necessites floss and size 14/0 or 15/0 pearls for the 2 1/2 mm ones.
