My Thoughts
I began stitching the Cottage of the Month series, I think, back in 2024 with the fall months. I had a simple finishing plan for all of them back then, but my skill set has improved and I really love this flat finish (still a simple finish, just cuter), so going forward I hope to finish them all similar to this!
I absolutely love this series, being a newer cross stitcher (made my first stitch in 2022), I was introduced to these a little later in the game, but they are such a classic design that works with my farmhouse-y vibes that I couldn’t resist stitching them. March is adorable with its mix of greens and pinks!
