Description
Barbara Ana Patterns Counted Cross Stitch Psttern 275 x 180 (wide x high)
The centerpiece is an ornamental heart with a quote from the bible:
"Love is patient, Love is kind,
it always protects, always trusts, always perseveres,
Love never fails"
On either sides of the design are man and a woman, their mid 19th century frocks exquisitely detailed. In stark contrast with the slightly austere characters, the heart, flowers, birds and text convey a poetic feel as if the young woman stitching the piece, maybe for her own wedding, was dreaming her future.
The beautiful contrasting colors of salmon and turquoise floss stand out against the more sober colors of the characters. The turquoise dotted birds are magnificient.
The piece is entirely cross stitch. An alphabet is included with the chart for stitching initials of your choice
