9” w by 7” h - 126 stitches w by 98 stitches h

This counted cross-stitch design of a swan
on a pond with cattails and lily pads,
gives the appearance of lace
on a background color of stitcher's choice.   
The surrounding border is curved at the corners
which are embellished with roses
and gives the impression of lace decoration and edging.

The stitching is done in white - whole and half stitches,
creating a design that even a novice could stitch.
 

The model is stitched on linen to keep with the ‘old’ tradition,
but aida or evenweave may be used.
