These fabric eggs–ok, in this case, lumpen footballs–come from a pattern posted by retro mama. Mind you, her eggy creations aren’t in the least lumpen, and she seems to have mastered the ladder stitch (that maddening little stitch!).

(I like these house ornaments on retro mama, too. Could imagine making a more disheveled version myself.)

If you have some fabric scraps, leftover cotton or polyfill, this is a fun, quick project with an upside:  no endless egg salad.

Happy chocolate bunnies and matzo ball soup, everyone!
