This fantasy counted cross stitch pattern entitled Idyll on the Riverbank shows a woman sitting on the riverbank with her lantern lit. It is late afternoon, almost dusk, and she is alone meditating to unwind from her troubles that have plagued her lately. Though partially nude, she is contemplating bathing in the fresh cool waters of the river as the dragonflies buzz around her. The birds flit by from above, and the large branch of the tree extends outward as an arc of protection, a lifeline and a silent stronghold. 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.
