My colorful Easter Egg Band Sampler is done, a quick four day stitch. Normally when I finish with a free chart, I destroy and discard it. But I think I will hang on to this one for a while. I am imagining alternate versions of it. Perhaps a pale blue linen with a blue and green colorway over dyed fiber. Or a very pale geen with a green and turquoise floss. But most intriguing of all, I am seeing this done up in jewel toned petite seed beads on a gold linen for a totally over the top Faberge look. I'll put the chart aside for now while I mull over all the grand possibilities.
Next up is the 2010 Easter Bunny from By the Bay Needle Art. I kitted this up substituting Crescent Colors, GAST and WDW cotton over dyes for the recommended DMC.
I'm still in a Easter mood. But I expect that after this bunny, I shall get back to my BAP or UFO. I genuinely want to finish those up. It's just that I needed a bit of a diversion. I am finding that my one project at a time mood dissipates quickly if that one project isn't a Teresa Wentzler. Her designs seem to be the only ones that capture my attention to the extent of becoming joyful obsessions. Most other designers become same-old, same-old all too quickly.

Super!
This looks great. I really like the contrast of the plain thread for the alphabet.
