I couldn't decide whether to stitch or knit something for my winner Gaynor, so i did both! She's let me know the parcel has arrived so i can show you what i made ...Mrs 'Carrot Gathering Bunny' (because Gaynor and her family grow their own veg) accompanied the little scissor fob i stitched. The design is April Rose by Carol Tinson from the Gift of Stitching Magazine. She suggests in the pattern that you fill it with uncooked rice to make it firmer and weightier, i hadn't tried that before but it worked out well and i'll definately try it again.
A couple more bands were added to Lady Scarlet this weekend, but not a lot else has been done. Family are arriving from other parts of the UK for Uncle Bills funeral tomorrow so it's been a bit sombre here this weekend.
Mrs Carrot Gathering Bunny is yet another gorgeous lady Julie. Hope your day with the family goes as well as these things can. We will be doing the same thing either this or next week as dear SILs funeral has to be arranged.
ReplyDeleteTake care sweetie

I am really sorry about your uncle. My thoughts are with you.
ReplyDeleteThe bunny is beautiful and could not have had a better design or come at a better time.
The rice is perfect, much better than stuffing and I will quite blatantly be stealing this idea from you.

I saw these on Gaynor's blog, they are lovely. I use yellow split peas rather than rice because they are rounder.
