I’d like to share with you an Easter/Spring Exchange item I stitched back in 2014. Here are a few close ups of the basket I created. I took the flowers from one of my books, the 2 rabbits with the heart from another book and finally the egg shape from a third book. I did my own design on the egg. There are purple beads for the centre of the pink border flowers. The bottom is stitched with the same 28ct coffee evenweave as the rest of the basket.
I lined the bottom and inside with purple fabric to match the purple on the bow and on the egg. I added green buttons to the end of the handle for decoration, and a cable tie inside the handle to make it stand up. I presented it inside a round easter tin from the Dollar Store. I love how it turned out.
Here is my letter ...
