But the good news is that now I can put the quilts on my blog, so here they are. I started with photos of Bunners and used them as the basis for my design. I painted all of the fabric (except the leaves) and used Shiva paint sticks to stencil the swirly patterns on the first quilt.
Then I embroidered lavishly with hand-dyed perle cotton thread from Laura Wasilowski of Artfabrik. Click here to see her luscious samples. I also added hundreds of beads on the second one to make Bunners sparkle, and used a shisha mirror for his eye in the first quilt.
The two quilts in process. |
This one is based on Bunners' Easter photo. |

I love, love, love them. They are so cute and extremely appealing. Can't imagine that they didn't make the calendar.
Thank you Judy. Yes, I don't know how they could resist those perky ears.
up late, and just read the news...so sorry, bunners and sherrie.
They're so cute!
They are wonderful! Thank you so much for using my thread.
Eh, what do they know? Either of these would have been a great calendar picture. I rather like the rabbit chilling out. You do great work!
How funny, and how beautiful !

Thanks everyone for checking in. Bunners is carrying on as usual, oblivious to the rejection.
Lovely bunnies and so sunny :-) Bunners is very cute in those glasses :-)
Regards from Yulia and rabbit Liza...
