Dear stitchers,
Here are some pretty spring and Easter patterns selected for you. We hope you will enjoy them!
We also wanted to let you know that some of you did not get Creative Poppy's last newsletter (Feb 19th) because of some problems with the server. We are sorry about that. If you'd like to see it, click here.
Happy stitching,
The Creative Poppy team

Little chicks
So few stitches, so much expression! Take a close look at this pattern by Perrette Samouiloff. It's full of great detail such as the cutest little chicks and rabbits, bunches of spring flowers and of course Perrette's signature little boy and girl characters.

The beauty of this design is that you can stitch it as a whole or pick some of the elements and adapt them for spring decoration in your house or for Easter cards.
These patterns work beautifully on Aida bands, terry towels, bibs and more! (detailed info on website).
The pattern is available as a large pattern or smaller version if you have less time for stitching

Let's go Egg hunting!
Helga's done it again! Check out this new fun character we couldn't resist stitching... Notice the use of a specialty thread that provides a soft feathery effect, as well as the fun accessories such as eyes and egg buttons.

Easter biscornu
Well, even if you have very little time to stitch, you can still "squeeze in" this fun project, part of Helga Mandl's biscornu of the month collection.

Early spring flowers
Watch these early spring flowers bloom as you stitch their delicate petals onto your favorite needlework fabric. Monique Bonnin has a special talent for capturing the essence of a flower. These patterns have a nice contemporary touch and will work well either framed or mounted as cushions.

Take a step back in time
Come spring, what would you be stitching if you were born over a hundred years ago? Possibly this very fine sampler with birds, an authentic replica of an antique sampler brought to us by Muriel Brunet. It dates back to 1878. A beautiful piece of stitching!
