Mini Botanical Cross Stitch Designs – RHS – January, February, March

A year ago, I bought a cute set of 12 mini cross stitch projects, all in a botanical theme, branded by the Royal Horticultural Society. The set included one floral design for each month of the year, and I shared them with you every quarter. Today, it’s time for me to share the last three completed designs, for the months January, February and March, featuring snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils. A rather appropriate selection! I saw all of those in real life in London this quarter.

DIY Cross Stitch Set – Spring Time – Semi Original Design

It’s been a while since my last cross stitch endeavour, and it was time to pick up another one of the many cross stitch sets I have in my DIY stash.

Mini Botanical Cross Stitch Designs – RHS – April, May, June

Cross stitching is one of my favourite relaxing hobbies. Ever since I picked it up a year and a half ago, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. I have now completed dozens of small designs, and I’m always on the lookout for new projects to work on. I usually buy assorted cross stitch kits with cute designs and all supplies included in the box. A couple of months ago, I got a set with 12 small designs, one for each month of the year. The designs are inspired by flowers that bloom at different times of the year, and the set itself is branded with the Royal Horticultural Society. For a plant lover like myself, this kit is perfect! I decided to share my progress on this blog after every quarter. This time, I’d like to present the completed designs for April, May and June – featuring tulips, a bluebell and a poppy.
