Tatted bunnies for Easter

Happy Easter!

Tatted bunnies in different colours and thread sizes. They are available for exchange; for something that you have made. Just leave a comment or an e-mail and tell me which one you want for the exchange. The white bunny is 3 inches and yellow bunny is 2 inches. The other bunnies are about 2.5 inches in size.

Tatted eggs

I'm experimenting with different colour combinations. There is also a bad egg among the bunch. I must have been half asleep when I was tatting it. Can you pick it out?

Tatted pink bunny

I was looking for bunny patterns and found this one by Heather Johnston here. Does mine look like a bunny? Quite easy to do except for the ears as you can see, it is a little crinkly. I'm getting ready for easter. Will make a few more in different colour threads.

More tatted eggs and button square

I wanted to try out more colour combinations for Emma Crew's tatted egg pattern and Lisa Trumble's button flower pattern. Here's more! What's next?

New tatting

I tried out two tatting patterns last weekend. This is what it looks like. The easter eggs is a pattern I found online by Emma Crew. The yellow and green egg is tatted with Cebelia thread size 30 and the mauve and purple egg is tatted with Flora thread size 20. The button flower pattern is by Lisa Trumble and it is done with Flora size 20. I'm going to make more of these in different colours.

Hearts

I posted these to Pat this morning. She will be using these for her wonderful crazy quilting projects. I love her crazy quilting for her choice of colours and embellishments. I wanted to try out CQ and bought her bliss kits on Etsy. She was so kind to send me extras including scraps of Dupioni silk for me to start off with.
