Easter Softie Contest Winner

Happy Easter! I hope everyone has been having an egg-citing day filled with plenty of chocolate bunnies, Peeps, and my favorite, Cadbury Eggs! The winner of the second sewingmamas Easter Softie Contest is...

LANI!

EASTER SOFTIE BASKET



This Easter basket has "soften" all our hearts! Lani has revamped the traditional Easter basket using felt to make a decorated egg, plastic egg with candy, and even a baby "chick" to remind us how Easter brings new life. What is Easter without a box of Peeps? Lani has recreated 4 colorful Peeps that look identical to our favorite marshmallow pals! To top it off, the basket is ornamented with a gorgeous Easter lily and pink flowers embellished with pearls. You did a fantastic job! Congratulations on your win! Your prize will arrive within a few weeks. You also get the privilege to choose the next contest's rules! ^_^

I'd like to thank and recognize all of you who participated in the contest: Softie #1: HunnyBunny, crocheted by Adrienne, Softie #3: Bunny & Chick, made by Myla, Softie #4: Chick Friend Disguised as Bunny: made by Sara, and Softie #5: Easter Basket Chick, made by Julie. You all did a fabulous job! I hope to see more of your work in upcoming contests.

Please stay tuned for new contest rules and new featured Softie crafters.
Have a blessed Easter season!
