April brought another fun shift in my temperature cross stitch project, both in color and in vibes. With average daily temps ranging from 42.4ºF to 74.0ºF, we are definitely edging closer to true spring, and my stitching reflects it. This month’s cat features lots of greens and yellows, with just a touch of the deeper teals from March lingering at the beginning.

The gradual warm-up meant a more consistent palette overall, and I loved seeing those sunny colors start to take over. It’s such a satisfying transition after the cooler tones of January through March.

Four cats down, and I’m still completely in love with this project. Each little section feels like a snapshot of the season, and I can already see the full picture starting to take shape. I’m ready for May and maybe even a few oranges. (I say that now knowing full well I’ll be cursing the first super hot day.)
