Happy Birthday Everyone born in April!

I am an April baby. In April the weather is fabulous, the smell of Spring flowers fill the air, it's just my favorite time of year.

Diamonds are the gemstones for April. Diamonds are crystalized carbon, recognized as the hardest natural material. They are formed deep within the Earth under extreme heat and pressure.

They are valuable. They are exquisite, unbreakable, and known as the most precious gemstone.

Doves are the diamond of our feathered friends. Their simple elegance and beauty, they are the symbol of hope, peace, and love. In Biblical times they were valued as highly as diamonds are today. What better way to honor all of us Aprilarians, than a Diamond Dove. It is my hope for you all, that this birthday you be blessed with hope, peace, and love. Not just today, but everyday.

Happy Stitching!

I want to dedicate this pattern to a very special, precious, and loved baby girl. CIRA JOVAN SHEPHERD. Your time here was too short. Your life, your love, your laughter will always be remembered. Playing in God's Garden.
