This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Leisure Hours designed from a painting by John Everett Millais shows two high-society girls dressed in velvet dresses and reclining on the floor as they watch three large goldfish swim around in circles in a fishbowl. Something tells us leisure time for them is a common occurrence outside of busying themselves with school work, making connections and social gatherings. Notice the ornate wallpaper in the background. The colors are dark rich tones that symbolize a sort of boldness, wealth and status. 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.
