Maids of Virtue - Lovea Cross Stitch Pattern by Stitchers Anon Cross Stitch Designs

The Third in my Maids of Virtue series, Love represents balance in all things.

Whilst Love is not one of the 7 virtues (it does sometimes replace Charity), Love was classed as a theological virtue by Saint Paul. He chose Love, Hope and Faith, and placed Love as the most important virtue.

Because we cannot really follow any virtue truly unless it comes from a place of Love, I've decided to include it in my Virtuous Maids series.

Stitched in the deep historical shades used in the period of history when our sweet maid would have been the height of fashion, she stands underneath a garden full of roses. After all, what says 'I love You' more than a bunch of roses?
