We have been bombarded with requests for this design ever since I first mentioned the idea on a newsgroup. This will make a facing pair to "Celtic Christmas" which was and still is a very popular design.

The word "Spring" adorns the top with matching beaded sections as on the Christmas design.The Celtic lady has blonde hair and carries roses instead of candles. Her gown is regal lavender with twilight blues and stars in her train. Yellow roses are in the geometric sections as well.

We have used a different suggested fabric...Willow Green linen from Zweigart. Most stitchers changed the fabric on the older one and I'm sure they will do this design to match their "Celtic Christmas".

"Celtic Spring" has lots of beads from Mill Hill and Petite Treasure Braid from Rainbow Gallery. She sparkles with the magic of spring.
