This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Morning Bouquet designed from a painting by Alfred Guillou shows a spritish young woman with short brown hair holding a bouquet of wildflowers she has just picked from the forest.  It is uncommon to see a woman of this era with hair as shorn as hers, but it adds to the sprite-like quality of her appearance and gaze.  Just attach a pair of gossamer wings to her back and she could become a beautiful fairy or nymph.  Notice the background of blue-tinted wilderness that actually adds color and interest to the scene.  This is a beautiful pattern that certainly puts us in the mood for spring, and is certainly worthy of stitching. 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.
