A Tiny Easter Basket to Stitch

This adorable Easter basket with rainbow-colored eggs from Alita Designs is not only incredibly cute but also super easy to stitch, making it the perfect project for both beginners and seasoned cross stitchers alike. The design features vibrant, eye-catching colors that capture the essence of spring and the joy of the Easter season. The rainbow-colored eggs add a playful and festive touch that’s sure to brighten up your space!

If bright, bold colors aren’t your style, don’t worry — you can easily swap out the colors for softer pastel shades to match the more traditional Easter aesthetic. The beauty of this pattern lies in its versatility, allowing you to tailor it to your specific tastes or existing décor.

Another great way to personalize this piece is by changing the color of the ribbon on the basket. Whether you want to match it to the Easter decorations on your table or coordinate it with other spring-themed items, this small change can make a big difference and give the piece a unique flair.

The pattern measures 39 by 42 stitches and uses 10 colors, making it a manageable yet rewarding project that can be completed in a relatively short time. It’s ideal for stitching up a quick decoration, or perhaps even creating a gift for a friend or loved one this Easter.

Whether you’re an experienced stitcher or a beginner, you’ll find joy in creating this sweet Easter design. Plus, with the vibrant colors and adorable details, it’s sure to make a charming addition to any Easter celebration or home décor.

Stitch with Coffee is an Etsy shop that is almost completely devoted to holiday designs, with the exception of a series of designs that feature the exploits of a tuxedo cat named Tuxey. It’s also almost completely devoted to cat designs, as we’ll see.

Because I happen to own a tuxedo cat (her name is Haru) we definitely have to spend some time talking about those patterns Haru means spring, so it seems appropriate to share this one of the cat in a field of daisies. The pattern measures 91 by 52 stitches and is all full cross stitches with a little bit of backstitching. It doesn’t say how many colors are used but I think it’s six or seven.

I love the look of it on this sage colored 28 count linen but you can use whatever you like.

The largest category in the shop is for Halloween, and here, too, you’ll find a lot of cats (I also have a black cat so you know I love that, too). There are cats doing potions, a skeleton cat, Frankencat, Dracula cat, cats in pumpkins, a cat witch flying a broom and more. There are also some ghosts and other patterns that don’t involve cats, but I can’t stress enough that there are a lot of cats in this shop (maybe it should have been called Stitch with Cats instead of Stitch with Coffee!).

In the Christmas section there are still more cats: in sweaters, with antlers decorated with holiday lights, in stockings and a cat snowman. There are not Christmas patterns that don’t feature cats.

There are a couple of Valentine’s Day patterns that don’t feature cats, but they still predominate here. You get the idea.

If you like cats every day of the year you’re sure to enjoy this shop. And if you like cats every month of the year, make sure you check out their calendar series, which features cats doing seasonal things like watching a snow globe, being a leprechaun and waving a flag surrounded by fireworks.

Check out all their designs at Stitch with Coffee, and let me know if you see something that catches your eye!
