Miss Bliss

They say, "third time's the charm", and it certainly seems to be the case here. Meet my "official" wee bunny, Miss Bliss. The first two attempts didn't seem to be quite right, and I kept looking at the others over here and wondering why Petula and Chocolate Bunny (see below) were so different. So I double-checked to make sure I was using the same pattern as everybody else. Indeed I was. But it turns out that, if I had put on my glasses and actually read the directions I might have discovered that I was one piece short! (Very possibly one short of a full deck too, if you know what I mean.) Oh dear is me, and my sincerest apologies to Hillary; I am thoroughly abashed over my blunder, as it was never my intention to alter your perfect design. So here she is...and oh my stars, what a difference that one little piece makes. Here is my wee bunny looking precious and plump wearing *GingerBliss* Amy Butler designer fabric. The eyes are wooden flower beads stitched down with embroidery floss. They do look blissful don't they?   Now I have to confess that this is all just slightly embarrassing. What a pitiful poor state I'm in now, so much so that I can't even bring myself to show you the bottom half of Chocolate Bunny, attempt #2. In fact it has been suggested (by certain children in the house) that she looks more like the Velveteen Rabbit. So let's just pretend that this was *intentional* and leave it at that.  And, maybe not mention that there's no wee family resemblance here either, even though she is a distant relative.

Miss Bliss is very chic!I think Chocolate bunny has a charm all of her own!Velveteen Rabbit awhh!

They both are wonderful, but I happen to just adore chocolate bunny with her pink polka dotted ears! Sooo cute!

Miss Bliss is perfect! Those eyes, the embroidered flower, all so precious!

Third time is just as charming, though i must admit I like the fattness or should I be polite and say roundness of her form!! I like my chocolate like that too!

Her eyes are sweet shaped!! Clever YOU!!

Nevermind, Vicki...you can make a mistake and it all still works! The newbies are sweet and I am thinking I need to make another for my 10yo granddaughter. I am enjoying the wee bunny gallery. Inspired to make more..

You are indeed right, the third time IS the charm. Your bunny is so lovely. Seeing everyone's bunnies is so inspiring. I may have to make an attempt this weekend.

Miss Bliss is very sweet, but I must confess that I absolutely ADORE the Chocolate Bunny! I am seriously coveting him. His face is sweet and I love the pink polka dots and the sweet blue ribbon & flowers around his neck. TOO CUTE!

[Kristin]

[Leslie]

Very nicely done, Vicki! I love the eyes! :)

I love chocolate bunny - his polka dot ears are divine. I'm so behind, I didn't even know about the wee bunnies...yours are just the inspiration I needed! Thanks!

[lulu]

I love chocolate bunny too! This is just one of those very happy mistakes. I, for one, am happy you missed that pattern piece the first few times!

Miss Bliss is, of course, very beautiful too... but there's something about Chocolate Bunny.... you must tell us what piece we should leave out ;0)

Miss Bliss is beautiful. She will add charm to any room.

[Gisela]

Oh! this one is gorgeous, but I love the others too!

[Kristin]

Very, very sweet bunnies! I especially love the embroidered flower on the belly.

[Toni]

ahhh...adorable, chubby Ms. Bliss! That's a funny story V.!!

[Stacey]

Miss Bliss is adorable! I saw Hillary's pattern and have been meaning to try it out too. I had a little skiing accident, but I'm getting better every day. I better get working!

That is very funny, and it still turned out so cute. I'm sure Hillary would think it was hilarious and great!
I absolutely love all of your quilts! The flower pot quilt is amazing. After reading your posts, I realize that I have given away an unsigned quilt, so I need to make sure I sign them from now on, what a great inspiration. And you find such pretty ways to sign them too.
I'm really glad I discovered your blog, it is beautiful to look at and your work is gorgeous!
