April Year in Charm

Here is the April Year in Charm by Lizzie Kate. It was such a sweet project, that I finished a very, very, very long time ago. The first project I ever, ever stitched on Linen was the March version of this kit. I remember being so intimidated to stitch on linen, and new nothing about variegated threads - it has been such a learning process to look back on my progress as a stitcher.

These little pieces remind me of that process. One thing I have learned is to go to more professional establishments for framing. These pieces I had framed at Joann Fabrics. I really like the esthetic and quality of the frame. It also comes in a range of colors, so it makes it nice for displaying these pieces, however they were not laced, and on some of them the work in flattening it and making it really taught was not done well at all. I actually think when I have some time, that I might bring them to a professional framing shop to have the framing redone in the same frames.
