 "Free Mini Bunny & Ducky Easter Basket Pattern©"

By Connie Hughes Designs©

These cute little baskets can be made very quickly...and that's

what I love about them...I know that most people don't

have time to make things that are going to take weeks to finish...

That is why I try and create things that can be made in a few hours or

in a couple of days...these are perfect for gift giving this Easter!!
