This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May designed from a painting by John William Waterhouse shows two women out in the meadow gathering wildflowers. It is a bright and sunny day and all seems right with the world. The message of the scene is to seize the day and enjoy things now while you have the opportunity. Take time to stop and smell the roses because you are not promised tomorrow. These are all positive phrases which are personified in this beautiful bucolic scene. This would be a wonderful cheerful pattern to stitch! 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.
