Lady of Shalotta Cross Stitch Pattern by Teresa Wentzler

A scene from Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott": the story of a beautiful lady who could only view the outside world through the reflections in a large mirror, and who wove those sights into a colorful tapestry. One fateful day, the lady chose to ignore the mirror and turned instead to her window, and looked out to see Sir Lancelot and Camelot, thus bringing upon herself the mirror's curse.
