Easter

10 Favourite Easter Projects

We've had so much snow in Calgary this winter that it's hard to believe that it is almost Easter. While I feel that I should still be stitching up snowmen, I think it's time to start thinking about flowers, bunnies and Easter eggs.

I've found 10 cute Easter designs that I think you will enjoy - and you still have time to create them. Here are a few of my favourites:

1. 10 Free Bunny Sewing Patterns

What would Easter be without bunnies? Diy-crush has curated lots of sweet bunny patterns for you to stitch up.

2.  Hippity Hoppity Easter Mini Quilt

More bunnies, but this time in a pieced wall hanging. Hippity Hoppity Easter Mini Quilt is from Nadra of Ellis & Higgs. I think you could have lots of fun choosing fabrics for these bunnies and I might be tempted to add a fluffy tail to them too!

9. Easter Treats

We've got the bunnies, the eggs, the carrots and even some flowers, but I'm missing the best part of Easter: chocolate! Easter Treats by Chatterbox Quilts includes a chocolate bunny between spring blooms.
