She shared: "I just couldn't resist this pair of cute spring chicks. I had great fun stitching the chicks up with DMC Eco Vita thread which I had just bought for another project. I used a pale blue fabric and then adding felt for the eggs and finished with a running stitch and french knot decoration around the edge."

In Our World We're having an absolute blast here at Clever Poppy as we launch our brand-new Easter kits! There's something so special about stitching a piece for your home - it's a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the holidays all year round. And with patterns featuring adorable little chicks and bunnies, the cuteness level is off the charts! Looking ahead to future patterns, I'm just about to print out templates for a few new designs with a bit less of a girly vibe - think a retro combo van, an enchanting under-the-sea theme, and the sweetest little hedgehog. I can't wait to bring these to life, so stay tuned! Wishing you all a wonderful week!
