Don't forget to use stabilizer!!! It makes a huge difference.

Take some credit!!

Awww thanks!!! ... I just like to make sure that the right person gets their time in the spotlight!!

I smiled when you said "brilliant" ... as I think I've heard that expression used more by Brits than anyone else. So it was so appropriate for Muv's involvement.

How did your test runs go?
Did you run on over to the International Patriotic thread to check out her work?

Well ... I married a Brit so I am fluent in English and proper English

My test runs went well. I discovered that cotton floss does not work well - it just shredded. DMC floss was the easiest, but I like the look of wool the best. I also did a few small pieces of "needle turn" and that went well.

I think I am going to use a needle turn for the smaller pieces that are "part" of the bunny (eyes, inside of ears, and some contrasting color), and MUV's method for the perimiter of the whole bunny.

And yes I did check out that thread ... thanks for pointing it out. There is/was some fabulous work going on over there. Can't wait to see Muv's finished floral project!!
