This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Le Billet Doux (The Love Letter) designed from a painting by John William Godward shows a beautiful young woman sitting on top of a marble wall leaning back against the base of a statue. At the same time, she is reading a love letter from a possible suitor. The woman is treasuring a note at a time when love was often expressed through the written word. I wish we could go back to those times and still incorporate that sentiment in today's fast-paced modern world. 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.
