It won't be long before kitchen tables across the land will fill with youngsters gathering around for egg decorating. And, they'll certainly be chattering about how the Easter bunny will be hiding the eggs for them to find when he brings them candy and treats.

In preparation for that springtime tradition,  Peter Cottontail visited the Embroidery Library this week to pose for us and help make some really exciting new design treats for our Easter pleasure.

When it comes to embroidery treats, lace is a delicacy that's almost better than chocolate! And this week, lace designs top the charts!

New lacy baskets, constructed from three-piece sew-outs, go together easily and with such magical results, they will surely astonish your friends and family. Bookmarks of lace, featuring Happy Easter themes, make thoughtful and practical gifts. Add more springtime fun with freestanding lace designs depicting ornate Easter eggs, funny bunnies, chicks, and more.

A comic series, Easter Antics, will depict the Easter Bunny hard at work and into mischief, too.

New applique designs -- from Easter eggs to baby animals--are quick to sew for decorating everything from your best bib and tucker to  placemats and kitchen potholders. Put out the spring welcome mat and select an Easter decoration for your door from the new in-the-hoop, applique door hanger designs. Choose your mood -- from funny bunnies to a beautiful basket.

We hope you enjoy eggs-ploring all the new designs this week. Enjoy your Easter preparations!
