Until then, I wanted to share to share this fun project with you. The Quilt Festival folks will be collecting and selling 4" x 6" recipe-art-cards to benefit the Chicago Food Bank. I think this is a wonderful thing to do, so I set out to create my card.
OK...so you know around here almost everything is "bunny" related. I can't help it. It's just happens. So I decided to create a "Honey Bun" recipe card. Get it? Honey Bun? hee,hee,hee. Don't you just love his bee cardigan? I crack myself dorky self up!
My friend, Lydia, helped me find a quick and easy recipe that would fit on the back of the card. Thanks Lyd!! I printed the recipe onto a sheet of the inkjet fabric. You can purchase it at most craft stores and their are also tutorials for making your own.
Of course, I have given credit to the recipe creator, Tricia Goss, on the back of the card. It's important to give credit to the creators of things and not act like we come up with every fabulous idea ourselves. That is naughty. Besides, your head would explode from being so big with all that fabulousness. hee,hee,hee.
The recipe card is made exactly like the postcards we have been making. I didn't make kits up for this one simply because I don't have time and basically, you can use scraps of wool that you have left over. You can also use fabrics if you don't have wool. However; the pattern is FREE for you to use and you can hop over HERE to get it. I think these would make really cute hostess gifts. Don't you?
I also want to take a minute to tell you that the bunnies and I are, once again, delighted to be sponsors for the Pets on Quilts Blog Hop.
You can hop over HERE and read more about it. We always love to see the wonderful pet quilts featured each year.
Alrighty then, onto our giveaway!

I think I am number one! (Of course it is still daylight on Friday here in the far Pacific Northwest. - Only Michelle could hurry Saturday up into Friday!
Do not enter me in the drawing. I am clueless with felt, pretty as it is. Guess I could make a sort of girlie table cover for the poker table.
However this is, as far as I can remember, the first post of your many where there is finally something I will really, really like - Honey Bunns! They will get a go here soon - but I plan to double up on the cinnamon and maybe even add some frosting!
Yummmmmm!
Hi Shell
I love anything with bees on them (they always remind me of my Dad who has bees and keeps us supplied with plenty of honey) - your honey bun is so cute.
Angela
I just love your little bunny bee! And such a great project to be involved with! This felt looks so gorgeous, I just want to reach out and touch it.

I'm late to the biscuit party here :-) Been working all weekend and these biscuits sound delish and like fun to make! The bee bunny postcard is Too Cute! and I will definitely be making one. It will make me smile every time I see it! I love the idea of a bunny wearing a bee sweater. Cracks me up...though Harrington would surely think it was not a great idea!
I hope the show and fundraiser is a great success! Have a wonderful time there. Thank you for the sweet and lovely giveaway!
