This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled My First Sermon designed from a painting by John Everett Millais shows a little 5-year-old girl dressed in a red cape and hat listening to the sermon for the first time and for the full duration and successfully completing this feat. She is proud of the fact that she was attentive throughout the entire sermon, did not fidget, nor did she fall asleep which is remarkable for someone of her age. She is actually the daughter of the artist who he used as the subject for this famous artwork. There is a look of seriousness on her face which is quite charming, bless her heart! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
