Cutest Easter Basket for Your Easter Bunny

Published: Wed, 03/08/23

Hi ,

Spring has arrived, at least in my neck of the woods, and Easter is coming! I have a fun project to share with you this week and a new quilting design - Pointy Paisley Pile Up.

This is a wonderful time of the year for short projects so we can finish up quick and get back to the garden. The Mini Block Easter Basket is a fast sewing project with a super cheerful finish. Make one for yourself, or all the Easter Bunnies in your family:

Super Beginner Quilting Design - Pointy Paisley Pile Up

This week I shared a fun quilting design that's perfect for beginning quilters. The idea is to quilt triangle Pointy Paisley shapes, then overlap them to form a slightly messy stack.

The great thing about this quilting design is you can't mess it up. Literally. Make all the mistakes you want because this overlapping design will hide them. This gives you a great opportunity to practice traveling, echoing, stitching straight lines and triangle shapes.

Looking for a Frame to Grow with You?

If you've been looking for a frame that can grow with you as you evolve as a quilter, the new Evolution Hoop Frame may just be the ticket. See how to set up this frame and how it will look with a home machine or longarm in this frame assembly video:

How the Evolution Frame can Grow

The Evolution Hoop Frame starts out small, but can be upgraded and expanded as much as you'd like. It starts out with a small-ish 66 inch wide footprint. I say "small-ish" because this frame does feel bigger and will require more room than a Cutie or Q-Zone Hoop Frame.

But the benefits of this frame far outweight the extra space required. The Evolution has an overall sturdier build - bigger rails, legs and supports - and this is important because you can upgrade and expand the frame at any time to become an Evolution Elite 8 foot, 10 foot, or 12 foot rolling rail frame.

The Evolution Hoop Frame can also switch between Rolling Rail Style quilting for smaller quilts, to Hoop Style quilting, for quilts of any size and shape. Being able to switch between these styles is very interesting and will make for a much faster quilting process for baby quilts on this frame.

Speaking of beautiful baby quilts, I have a new baby quilt panel designed for Spoonflower Fabric for you to practice free motion quilting!

This panel offers a fun and easy way to practice free motion quilting over the Daisy Loops Pantograph (coming out soon), with open spaces to try creative techniques.

I'm looking forward to playing with some digitized QCT (Quilter's Creative Touch) pantographs, just as soon as I get QCT attached to my new Evolution Hoop Frame.

So that's it for this week. Don't forget to check out our March Sale with $5 off select sewing patterns, including the Easter Basket, Ms. Bunny and Mally the Maker dolls! Click Here to check out all of our patterns.
