The entries below are organized by pattern type in case you’re looking for examples of a specific pattern. 

 

 

Easter Bunny Buddies:

Whether you want a quick cotton sew, a clothing keepsake, or a personalized gift, the Easter Bunny Buddies Pattern will get tons of hugs every time.

This adorable Easter Bunny Buddy sewn by Emilie Gorham, was a huge hit in our Facebook Pattern Fan Club Group, I think it was a combination of the fun Easter rabbit fabrics and the perfect face! 

 

Diane Joy Kemple sewed this floral Easter Bunny Buddy from Cuddle fabric – look at that fluffy tail!

 

Karen Bircher used the ears on these 4 blue Easter Bunny Buddies to add the names of her grandkids.

 

Lindy Eversole made some this yummy-looking chocolate rabbit with sprinkles!

 

Maggie Weindorfer used the single piece on the Easter Bunny’s tummy to display a cute t-shirt image of a cat, plus she put a logo on the foot and an embroiders a name on the ear. This is a fun example of all the ways you can use the Easter Bunny Buddies pattern for memory toys!

Baby Bunny Pattern:

Next up, let’s meet some sweet versions of Baby Bunny! These three smiley bunnies were Jana Jackson Williamson’s first try with the pattern.

Jane MacKenzie sewed this delightful trio of Baby Bunnies with fun fluffy tails!

 

This cute “Baby Bunny in a box” was sewn by Robyn Chardon. I love the texture combination of floral fabric and sherpa fleece.

 

Here are two bright and cheerful versions of Baby Bunny by Freya Green. The green bunny has baby-safe felt features, which are another option if you don’t like hand embroidery.

 

The plaid fabric on Jonell Hart’s version of the Baby Bunny Pattern is quite sophisticated. I love seeing all these new looks for Baby Bunny!

Egghead the Easter Chick Pattern:

Egghead the Easter Chick is having a big year in our Easter Contest, with more versions of him posted than ever before. Jennifer Newman Brown used patterned fleece to made it look like her Egghead was playing in the egg dye.

 

Wow, there’s an Egghead Easter Chick invasion in Lindy Eversole‘s kitchen! Egghead looks great in any sort of fabric, from pastel to primary colors.

 

I always say that Egghead Easter Chick is so ready to greet the world that he forgot to knock off that last bit of shell. This Egghead Easter Chick by Kathy O’Connor looks like he’s ready to take off flying, too.

 

The eggshell hat is particularly perky on this pink polka dot Egghead Easter Chick sewn by Kathy Vorse Dickinson.

Lamkins Lamb Pattern:

You can use the Lamkins Lamb pattern for a clothing keepsake, too. I love all the different prints and textures on this Lamkins Lamb sewn by Elizabeth Percival of Dolli-Mixtures Keepsakes. 

And Natalie Booysen embroidered some “sleeping eyes”on her pretty pink Lamkins Lamb.

Dilby Duck Pattern:

This photo by Patsi Shandera took the top spot as the most popular picture of the week in our Facebook fan group. Dilby Duck always looks adorable, no matter what type of fabric you use.

 

Lori Munding tried out some challenging curly fabric for her Dilby Ducks, and the end result is both sweet and silly.

 

Stephanie Wells used a rose swirl minky for a different type of feather effect on her Dilby Duckling.
