Easter Squares for Jill

I see that Jill has received her squares for the Fair and Square - Easter round. I've been itching to stitch this design since I got it last year and am very happy with how it looks IRL. I'm hoping to stitch it again for myself before Easter, maybe in the original bag layout, which would look nice sitting next to my bunnies - even nicer if I knew there were some yummy eggs inside :) I'd have to keep that a big secret though, or it would be a flat bag in a very short time!

Sorry I couldn't get a better picture of the colours - they're not so washed out IRL.

Some little things to share

I received my Fair and Square - Easter squares yesterday from Jill - only nine days from the US is pretty fast, it usually takes a couple of weeks! They're lovely and I think will make up into a sweet Easter ornament. My youngest son thought the daffodils in the watering can were some kind of chick growing out the top at first - daffodils don't grow here and he might not have seen them before, although we do have similarly shaped flowers - which he thought was a bit strange until I explained that they were a flower, then it made sense - it was pretty funny at the time! I think some daffodils for Easter will need to go on the shopping list, what a good excuse to have to buy some! :)

Thank you for the lovely squares Jill and for giving me a reason to buy some flowers, LOL

I've been mainly stitching on exchanges so can't share those yet, but I've finished up a couple of freebies that I can share - I do like lots of pictures :)

Easter Love
Trail Creek Farm Freebie
25# Lugana (some kind of light green) with DMC threads
Changes: left off the word love and added more flowers, some colour changes.

I started this last year and for some, now unknown, reason, left maybe a dozen stitches unstitched. This is definitely the fastest finish ever, all of 5 minutes or so - very satisfying :)

Rain

Prairie Schooler freebie
32# Lambswool linen with recommended DMC threads

I don't know why but I really like this little design, maybe I just like rain? I guess it would be a perfect stitching day on a day like this!

Hope you have a stitchy day :)
