This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled My Face is My Fortune designed from a painting by Edwin Thomas Roberts shows a cheerful milkmaid carrying two pails on a wooden shoulder yoke while smiling on a sunlit country path. The warm morning breeze carries the scent of wild clover and damp earth, capturing the countryside at its peak of beauty. The young lass seems to know that with her lovely smile and winning looks, she will be able to get ahead in life and hopefully live a life of prosperity someday if she meets the right gentleman. Like myself, you will be moved by how the soft light catches her straw hat, rendering her expression simply unforgettable. No doubt, stitching these rich terracotta tones will offer a satisfying experience. 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.
