In every winter's heart there
is the quivering spring,
and behind the
veil of each night
there is a smiling dawn.

The 4 Seasons pattern is design to show the cycle of life beginning with the budding of spring in the upper left corner and moving clock wise to the full bloom of summer, the maturing and aging of  fall and slumber of winter. The Chinese calligraphy for each season brings style and beauty to the design. This pattern is stitched on the most beautiful hand dyed fabric blending the colors of a late evening sky and a blush of the soft after glow of the setting sun. It is the time of day when all is right with the world. Stitched entirely with full cross stitch.

I love the dyed fabric for the Four Season. I especially like that it isn't solid blue and it has the lighter areas and the pinks. Sandi
