What are you expecting from this post?
Maybe not this?
I made this little rabbit from lace - it is in the Russian style and is a tape lace to define the outline with a filling of plaits, picots and circles.
The pattern came from a Dutch book Motieven in kleur by Sebastiana van den Henrik. It is the only thing I have done from this book as yet. It is quite repetetive to make and allows little room for adaptation.
I mounted it on a contrasting fabric to show off the lace and then did some outline quilting round the rabbit and big stitch quilting round the edge interspersed with some bright beads, the a contrasting border and finally a velvet binding!
Still really like this piece, although I was a bit fed up with making all those picots by the end - but that's traditional Russian style apparently!
Do svidanya! or Until we meet again in Russian!
