Pattern description
Saint Therese of Lisieux is portrayed in this pattern holding delicate roses, rendered in warm sepia and cream tones that evoke devotional artwork. The 150 x 150 stitch count creates a beautifully proportioned portrait, with her serene expression and flowing habit captured across 30 carefully selected DMC thread colors. The soft, earthy palette gives this counted cross stitch an heirloom quality.

- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
