This landscape counted cross stitch pattern entitled Summer Idyll at the Farm by Paul Wilhelm Keller-Reutlingen shows a peaceful farmyard setting where a mother who is tending to her laundry stops to interact with her children. One can tell the farm is well cared for, and its rustic charm is evident in the garden rows and the mottled yet sturdy fence lined with an abundance of sunflowers. This takes the mind back to a fundamental lesson that says you get out of life what you put into it, and that your own hard work will yield contentment and prosperity. How many of us would cherish such a feeling? This country cross stitch would make a lovely project. 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.
