This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Message designed from a painting by Thomas Cooper Gotch shows a reenactment of the biblical story of Mary encountering an angel who was sent to give her a message of the upcoming immaculate conception, in that she was to carry the Christ child from a virginal birth. This is an unconventional presentation that we're used to seeing; nevertheless, it is still very beautiful. The colors are vivid, especially those of the flowers and the angel's apparel. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
