In June we are going to do the American Heart.  The pattern is a heart.  Red, White and Blue with fun stitches.  Here is the supply list:

     Congress cloth in 14 (over 2)  5.4" w x 4.2" h,

                               24 (over 1)  3.2" wX 2.8" h
                               Your choice. 

The smaller the count the smaller the design area will be.  Add to the design area at least 3 inches on each side. (all four)  The larger the ground count the heavier the threads should be or the greater the number of threads used.
