Chocolate Bunnies

At first I couldn't remember very much about this project even though I had made four bunnies as Easter presents for family members back in the 1990's. But as I began to think it all came back to me. I used a favorite soft toy bunny as inspiration, after more than twenty years he is still a favorite. I sketched his likeness onto paper then cut it out to use as a template for the craft felt. I made a front and a back stuffing him with polyfill and sealing it up with a blanket stitch. His cotton tail is a yoyo and button, the egg was filled with chocolate. I used dark brown felt for my Auntie Christine, as if it were a real chocolate bunny.

How It All Began

I recently heard that a families creative interests sometimes skip a generation like cooking, art or sewing. For me that thankfully was not the case. My mother Carole made this needlepoint collage.
