Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail!

In just a little more than two months, we will celebrate the resurrection of my Savior, Jesus Christ!  My Mom always took great pleasure in making an Easter dress for me.  I never knew or appreciated how much time and thought went into those dresses until I began sewing.  Oh, how I wish I still had one of those dresses!
I remember going to Sunrise Church Service at Empire Baptist Church as a child.  Just a handful of brave souls came in the chill of the Spring morning to sing, "Up From the Grave He Arose".  If the church doors were open, we were there!  Then, it was back home to redress and back to church again at the normal time.  Then, on Easter afternoon, we'd trek (literally) to Rhine, GA for, what in my child's eyes was, the largest Easter Egg hunt in the world at Benevolence Methodist Church.  Family that we would only see once a year would hide hundreds of eggs while the children waited inside the church for the "Ready, Set, GO" call.  Last year, my Aunt, cousin, my son & I went to Easter service at Benevolence and it warmed my heart to let my son experience a taste of what I remember as a child.   
Ok....return from memory lane!
In the Spring, our homes will be filled with the smells of colored Easter eggs, baked ham and fresh cut grass.  If you're like me, just as much preparation goes into what to wear on Easter as what you cook to eat.  So as you flip through favorite cookbooks, don't forget to check out The Plaid Pineapple's latest appliqué designs.  I'd love to personalize your family's outfits and help you make lasting Easter memories too.
