April - Spring has sprung
CROSS STITCHPATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Gracewood Stitches

In the words of the designer:

"April - Spring has Sprung completes my Calendar Collection of designs that are reflections on various types of vintage textiles.

A tapestry style created in Asissi type of stitching only backgrounds, this pattern is mainly full cross stitch with a small percentage of half stitches as well.

April is 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.

I hope you'll think of the soft spring breezes as you stitch!

Creative Poppy says:

The pattern includes some fractional stitches for the brown slanted lines in the angles. You can easily substitute full stitches if you prefer. This will create tiny "steps" rather than smooth lines, but this will hardly be noticeable when the piece is finished.
