I do not celebrate many holidays but Easter is a must for me. Together with my friends and their partners plus children we have breakfast in a big group together and then we play with the kids and laze about for the rest of the day. Of course I am also going to have Easter baskets for the kids, but this year I did not want to buy them but make them myself.
I love Easter eggs. There's something delightful about the elevation of such an ordinary, every day object into colour and pattern and life: it's spring and rebirth and all the good things we've been longing for through the long, white winter. This year, in addition to dying real eggs, I wanted to make something a little more permanent and a little more playful. It was a perfect time to dig into my quilting scraps.
