This fine art counted cross stitch pattern, entitled Lady Reading by a Window, was designed from a painting by Thomas Benjamin Kennington, showing a woman sitting by a window reading a book. The sunlight is filtering in with a gentle breeze, and the woman is enjoying her prized location by the window by reading a book of interest. You can practically feel the summer breeze wafting through the window in delicious puffs of air that can lull a person to sleep. The sharp contrast between the window and the wall behind the woman is very evident, leading to a dramatic effect. This would be a good pattern to stitch for bibliophiles (book lovers) alike. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
