I whipped these up last night. You can find the tutorial and pattern at Retro Mama.
I love these little eggs. I used scraps from former quilt and costume projects. I should have stuffed them with some raw sheep fleece I have carded and sitting in a cloth bag waiting to be spun (it's a bit coarser that my normal spinning fleece). To make all seven, it took maybe half an hour to sew and stuff them, and another 30 minutes to ladder stitch the sides while watching a television show.
I had been racking my brain all March trying to come up with an eco-friendly alternative to those plastic Easter eggs that break so easily. We always do an egg hunt and these little guys are so perfect for using year after year. We will combine these with our naturally dyed eggs and have a great hunt.
Happy Easter Everyone!
