Velveteen Rabbits, or: Anna Maria May Have Given Me Scarlet Fever

What a beautiful day for a walk in the wide, wide world!

Let’s see if we can find a friend, shall we?

Say, who’s that over there?

Oh, hai!  Wanna come play with us?

Hello!  So very nice to meet you.

You know, I wasn’t sure I’d meet any other rabbits out here, certainly not ones made of velveteen, as I am.  You see, my owner recently suffered from scarlet fever.

OK, so, good meeting you! We’ll see you ’round and stuff!  Bye-bye, now!

Bummer.  And just when we thought we’d met a nice bunny.

Dude.  What’s with your ear always being in my face?

Project details:  Bunny pattern loosely adapted from The Big Book of Soft Toys by Mabs Tyler.  Fabrics are Anna Maria Horner’s velveteens from the Innocent Crush collection. Each bunny required approximately a fat eighth of fabric.  Stuffed within an inch of their lives with poly fiberfil.  Quick project that leads to a lifetime of giggles!  Bunnies will be on display at Whipstitch Atlanta starting tomorrow–come see them!
