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.

I feel like “Creative Enigma” is a pretty apt name for this Etsy shop, because it offers a selection of things that to me don’t completely make sense being in the same shop. Some designers stick to a theme or a particular aesthetic, and others just don’t, which is totally fine. Creative Enigma Store, to me anyway, fits in that second category.

There are a selection of cross stitch minis (some of which might be good for the cross stitch magnets I shared the other day) and a large selection of patterns related to movies, TV shows and video games.

But there are also geometric designs and blackwork, adorable animals and even a couple of holiday patterns. For such a relatively small shop (fewer than 70 designs as of this writing) there’s a pretty big variety.

Since the movie, TV and video game section is the largest by far, I knew I needed to share one of those patterns. There are chibis of characters from The Walking Dead, plenty of horror movie characters and Forrest Gump on his park bench, to name a few.

Being a X Files fan from way back, though, I had to share the “I Want to Believe” pattern. This one is 133 by 200 stitches and uses 18 colors. It has a sort of grainy look to it just like you’d expect from a picture of a UFO. Using 14 count fabric the design comes out to 9.5 by 14.3 inches, or 24.1 by 36.3 cm. Which makes it almost poster sized!

If you’re a fan of Chinese astrology you’ll find a cool set of zodiac animal patterns, which would be lovely to stitch up for a fan of that animal even if its not their zodiac sign.
