During the month of April, Skagit Valley, WA, a length of lovely farmlands surrounded by both mountains and the northern islands of the Puget Sound… or in other words, where I call home… is blooming with the vibrant colors of hundreds of different varieties of tulips in a display that rivals even those found in Holland! The brilliant swaths of color across the landscape are truly breathtaking and are the official signal that spring has definitely arrived in Washington. April’s stitch is in honor of this gorgeous time of year!
