This cheery Easter series is full of all my favorite Easter things! The bright, spring-y colors are sure to set the mood for egg hunts, spring blooms, and a visit from the Easter Bunny!
This Easter Mini series is made up of 3 separate designs that can be stitched into one larger piece (pictured above), or they can be stitched as three separate pieces (pictured below).
The Greeting
The Sheep
The Bunny
The designs in this series are stitched with threads from DMC, Classic Colorworks, and Weeks Dye Works. DMC suggestions are given for the specialty flosses. Instructions for how to stitch all three as a set are given on the last page of each pattern.
RECREATE THE LOOK
(Links, when available, are embedded in the list below.)
Fabric:
Aqua Gingham is from Sew Cherry 2 by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs (SKU C5808)
Pink Gingham is from Good Day by Me and My Sister Designs for Moda Fabric (SKU 22378-15)
Purple Gingham is from Good Day by Me and My Sister Designs for Moda Fabric (22378-16)
None of the prints are available where I purchased them anymore, but you should be able to Google the SKU numbers to find stores that still have them in stock.
(They were purchased in 2020, so as time goes on, they may become more difficult to find.)
Cording:
I used jute rope. This stuff is so versatile that I finally broke down and bought a giant spool of the 5mm size from Amazon.
Bows:
The bow centerpieces are 7/8" (Size 36) fabric buttons from Dritz that were covered with the same fabrics that I used and listed above.
For the base bow, I used a 2" wire-edged Natural Burlap Ribbon. The edges were clipped into dove-tails and I sealed them with Fray-Check.
The aqua ribbon is a 3/8" grosgrain ribbon from Hobby Lobby. The specific color I used is out of stock as of the time of this writing (so I can't link you straight to it), but I'm going to assume that's a temporary thing and give you the SKU anyway. ;). It is 723536.
The purple ribbon is a 3/8" double-sided satin ribbon, also from Hobby Lobby. The SKU is 169490.
The pink pibbon is a 3/8" double-sided satin ribbon from a Hobby Lobby multi-pack.
All the tails of the smaller ribbons were clipped horizontally. They were also sealed with Fray-Check.
One more time, here is how they look when they are stitched all together.
Hope you enjoy!
