I'm still having issues with uploading pics to my desktop, so my BlackBerry & netbook are helping out! My challenge to myself was to finally make a bunny.

He's 14" tall, not including his 8" ears, and is adapted from my bear pattern. I tried a sort of trapunto/applique with ultra suede for the nose & foot pads, which was another challenge to myself. bear_original

Well done on your challenge. This morning I hope to sew the final piece (the last ear) on a challenge I did for myself for a bunny

@Wubbie - applique is a piece of fabric that's applied to the surface by sewing around the outside of it and turning the edges under. It's also a kind of trapunto because there's a bit of stuffing under the appliqued piece, making it puffy.

Oh, wow. That sounds complicated, but I bet it looks cool.
