My Thoughts
I stitched Hello Spring in 2023 and it sat in my “to be fully finished” pile until this year! I have quite a few more where that came from, which is actually exciting, can’t wait to finish them all! I love this pattern for all of the bright colours, perfect for a black background. Shannon’s designs tend to call for more colours than some, but the end result is worth the extra effort! This turned out so cute with the pink bow and purple rick rack!
