Back in the 1990ies I worked as a deacon. For some time there were many asylum seekers from former Yugoslavia staying at an asylum seeker center not far from our church. I often went there to pay visits, and one year, before Easter, I invited the women and some of the children to our youth club. They told us about their Easter traditions, and taught us to dye Easter eggs.
I did some egg dyeing last night, not with the best result, but.......
The grey eggs and the lighter brown one, are from the workshop we had with the asylum seeker women, the rest are from last night. All are dyed using onion skins, yellow and red onions.
I have been playing around with the eggs today, trying to see how I can use them in different decorations.
Like in the flower urn I have outside, on the terrasse.
I made this small quilt, or rather a wall hanging also back in the 90ies.
Down the right side and along the bottom I have quilted in a line from an old Norwegian nursery rhyme, kom kyllinger små, som neppe kan gå/come small chicks which can hardly walk.......

By the way, I have collected different Easter eggs for years and years. Would you be interested in some blog posts with them?
