This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Queen Bertha and the Spinners designed from a painting by Gemalde von Albert Anker makes a statement that frowns upon the modernistic movement of industrialization, and instead touts the virtues of simple traditional handmade crafts that have grown near and dear to the heart of the people. In this scene the queen has taken a girl under her tutelage wing instructing and encouraging her in the art of spinning, and other children are receiving encouragement from the queen as well. 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.
