Happy Easter everyone. Clare (
aimetu) at
Needlecraft Haven organised an Easter Exchange for us. Our exchange was to include a stitched Easter ornament, a card and a sweet treat. All my favourites - including the sweet treat ☺.
I was truly spoilt by my exchange partner, Deb (no blog). She stitched me Just Nan's Dewdrop Bunny, a design I haven't got and included a Blackbird Designs chart, some pins, fabric, chocolates in a bag and a stitched card featuring a JBW Design rabbit! Didn't I say I was spoilt.

Needlecraft Haven Easter Exchange, 2017
Gifts from my exchange partner, Deb |
Christine (
The Alchymyst's Study) was my exchange partner and I sent her a modified version of Just Nan's Peter Cottontail, finished as a bell and a chocolate fish for Easter. You are just as likely to find a chocolate fish in our local chocolatier as a chocolate egg. The fish and eggs are filled with
petites fritures, a selection of little chocolate fish and shells.

I found the idea for the bell finish
here, which included a graphed template of the bell shape. I stitched the phrase 'Easter 2017' on the interior of the bell, but I didn't think to take a photo of it. This is a finish I will do again.
For those of you who like chocolate, I'll finish with a photo of the chocolate egg that my husband bought me this year. It's still in one piece ... for now.
Thank you for the link to the bell tutorial, it was lovely and clear, even in Russian! I really want to make one now. Love your exchange, Christine is one person I can imagine appreciating the humour of a chocolate fish!
ReplyDeleteWonderful exchange pieces and I love the idea of Chocolate fish - we have Bilbies here in Oz!
ReplyDeleteThank you again for my exchange gift. I love the idea of finishing it as a bell - a harebell presumably.
