This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Cutting Cabbages designed from a painting by Helen Allingham shows a woman in a gardenful of cabbages in which she is cutting the heads of the cabbages while two neighbors observe her actions. The woman certainly has her work cut out for her as this is an expansive garden with many heads to harvest. From the expression on her face, she is tired of cutting the heads of cabbage and would rather be doing other chores that do not require constant bending down and reaching forward. The cottage itself has a sort of rosiness in color and is nestled into an overgrowth of trees and shrubs with much larger trees in the background. This is a beautiful garden scene 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.
