Happy Easter

Last evening we dyed eggs for Easter. The Easter Bunny hid them around the house and they were eagerly searched for this morning. I hope everyone has a great day!

Eggs (separating egg yolk)

Happy Easter!

One of my friends sent me this YouTube Video on a very cool way to separate egg yolk. It is well worth a look. I will be trying this the next time I need to do this.

Happy Easter

Have a great Easter.
This little Easter Egg Sampler wall hanging, which I called EGGS-tra Ordinary Stitching, was made in 1998. Thank goodness for quilt labels as I would never have remembered that. I wonder if my sister recognizes the bunny border print! Each egg was appliqued onto the background. What patience I had - paper piecing isn't a favorite of mine.
Enjoy!

Quick Embroidery Project - Easter



One of the embroidery guild ladies just sent a sewing / embroidery / quilting link to all the guild members so I'm passing it along to you. What caught her eye was an embroidered Easter egg from Shiny Happy World. This is a free pattern and can be found HERE. This is a very simple project you can do while waiting for an appointment or when watching TV. But the thing I thought about was by changing the colour of the felt, the threads and design, this egg pattern could become a Christmas ornament or any seasonal ornament. The shape could also be turned into a circle. Think about it.
