This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Reader designed from a painting by Jean-Honore Fragonard shows a young woman fully engaged in her favorite pastime of reading. Judging from the intensity she is displaying, the book she is reading seems to be holding her interest. She is wearing a bright yellow frock with ruffled sleeves and collar, and her back is propped up against a pillow to provide more comfort while she reads. This is a perfect choice for those stitchers who are also bibliophiles (book lovers), or you may know someone who is. In that case, this would be the perfect pattern to stitch as a gift for someone or as a gift to yourself. 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.
