Spring Colors

Earlier this week, I discovered the grape hyacinths blooming in my garden!  Trees are coming out early this year, too - Colorado has had a very mild winter.

I still need to do the Spring garden clean-up!

So I've been stitching in Spring colors this week, too.  

This pretty purple is DMC 209 - dark lavender.  The Blessings stitch is a start on the "Spring Blessings" free design for March.  You can get it if you sign up for their newsletter.

A few more stitches have been added to the Spring embroidery design from Gail Pan, too.  Lots more to do on this one!

We are having winter weather today which I am trying to ignore as I look at everyone’s spring stitching projects. The daffodils are sprouting here but no flowers yet. Where did you get the blessings pattern? Pretty colours in your spring stitching projects. Gail at the cozy quilter

I love those spring flosses! It has been a weird winter hasn't it. Are you having wind today? It's crazy here, we had to take down our flags!

I just love those Spring colors--we all need to be looking at those after the white, white snowly Winter months we've been through!!
I think the Spring embroidery is just so cute, Diann;))) Enjoy!
Hugs, Julierose

We've been seeing bits of color here and there. It's starting to green up quickly here. Your thread colors are very spring. Purple is such a fun color to stitch and sew with. Happy stitching today.

I couldn't find any of the grape hyacinth in my yard last year and I know I have them, I need to look again and see if I can. The stitching is looking good.

It's still snowing here today! I enjoyed some peeks at spring coming on your blog today - lovely projects!

We’ve got snow this morning . Sticking to the trees and west side of the trees. It’s pretty, but slippery . Staying in and hopefully sewing. Need to do something Spring-like.

Your stitchery is very pretty. I saw some crocuses today. Leave some leaves for the queen bees to grow in.

Such pretty spring colors in your stitching. That blessings one looks so pretty. I do love lilac in the spring.

How sweet and charming your little spring stitchery is. How fabulous the earth at your place is beginning to be kissed with spring bulbs. Grape hyacinths are sweet little flowers.

Beautiful stitchery! Love the little hyacinths.

Right now the crocuses are covered in new snow! We got about 3" from the Big Storm.

You are working with some pretty spring colors. I didn't start Spring Blessings. I'm really trying to finish Salute to Abigail before starting anything new.

It is so delightful to see signs of Spring. Your embroideries are looking darling, Diann and Spring Blessings is as cute as a button. I wish you a lovely week. Hugs.

I'd love to see peeks of flowers in our yard, but first all this snow needs to melt. It will be gone soon! So glad you received some happy mail!
