This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Lady Godiva designed from a painting by John Collier shows Lady Godiva riding on a horse totally nude in protest to her husband's high taxes on the people. She feels her people deserve better treatment without such high tax rates. In fact, she believes so strongly in what she is doing that she is willing to sacrifice her very own dignity at the expense of helping the people in her community. She is bold, brave, and courageous in her actions. In this scene she is riding through the town on a white horse that is draped in red and gold, and she is completely without clothing. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
