This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled A Childhood Idyll designed from a painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau shows two little girls sitting in a pastoral setting while one is playing a flute-like instrument and the other is delighted in listening. The child listening has a smile on her face that shows she is pleased with the melodic music the other girl is playing, and all seems right with the world in this idyllic setting. The colors and tones are soft and muted which add to the beauty and innocence of the scene. 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.
