This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Midsummer Eve, designed from a painting by Edward Hughes, shows a young woman who has gotten lost in the forest, and in a clearing, suddenly encounters a ring of fairies at her feet dancing around her. She is leaning forward to receive direction from the fairies as she is lost. This is a magical night for her that signifies the pairing of lovers, a theme likened to that in the Shakespearean play A Midsummer Night's Dream. In any case, this is a beautiful pattern well worth the stitch. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use abundant solid colors as they produce a more realistic effect.
