Spring Finished

Last night I finished Spring by Cricket Collection. I really enjoyed this piece. The only thing I don't like is how faint the colors are but I understand it's supposed to be that way. I'm more of a bright color person. I love the motifs and it was a really fun stitch cause all the little details here and there. Here is two close ups of the piece.


Also I wanted to share a picture of the Another Day in Paradise framed. I think the frame really makes the design POP.

Oh that SPRING is lovely, I understand how frustrating it is when the floss seems pale against the fabric - but I'll bet it is very striking in person. It's lovely in the photos.

Your Another day in Paradise is definitely vibrant and perfect in the frame you chose.

Spring is so beautiful! I love the letters and flowers everywhere. Another Day in Paradise looks fantastic in that frame. It's the perfect shade of red! Great choice!!

I also love the brighter colors. We have the same taste!

Congrats on the finish Katie. Spring is really pretty. I'm with you, it would look awesome in the colors of Another Day in Paradise. Love the red frame. Did you frame it yourself?

Very nice, Katie. Grats on the finish. I think the colors are awfully faint too. But pretty. I especially like the S colors. Pink is so pretty!! And that frame looks great with your piece. You did a great job!!
