"April~Spring has Sprung" completes the Calendar Collection of designs that are reflections on various types of vintage textiles. A tapestry style created in an Asissi type of stitching only backgrounds, this pattern is mainly full cross stitch with a small percentage of half stitches as well. Each design has been my impression of how the month happens on Gracewood and April is such a special time when mountain tops may still be covered in snow, and the sunny days along with stormy ones create a riot of new fresh shades of greens, yellows and browns as the longer days bring growing things to life again. Gardens are planned, seeds started and it is a delight to see vast swathes of spring colors across the mountains. A blessed time of renewal. I hope you'll think of soft spring breezes as you stitch!
