Milly
The pattern came from Craft book 12, only Milly has a different face - which I'm not sure about. The bunny in the book has very delicate features, which I think would probably go better with the linen ?
I don't think I can be arsed to change her now though, so I expect she'll stay like this.
A silly Milly.
Please don't change her-this is too beautiful!

I think she's VERY cute, but I do see what you mean about the features being a little heavy for the fabric. Maybe the snout piece should be a similar fabric weight?

Well, I haven't seen the other face and I have to say that this one is pretty darn cute. I'd keep it.

No, the face really works. It's lovely.

She's lovely. I really think she's very cute!

I ordered that book -- my first Japanese craft book! -- from amazon japan based on your post about it. I'm so glad I did. Your Milly is adorable (of course, I have a Milly too, of the human variety)!

I'm for keeping the face.
I am waiting for my copy of this book and a few others to arrive from Amazon jp and I haven't waited with this much anticipation for something since I was a little kid. How long can it possibly take to come halfway around the world? Ok, maybe I just answered my own question.
Lovely bunny!

I find Milly to be thoroughly modern. (sorry, I suffer from a disorder that requires me to make bad jokes and puns. I'm seeking help.)

I, personally, am bad with faces. I will make a large creature with a dainty face or vice versa. I think Milly's face is just right for her. So cute, but, then again, I like everything you make.

I think her face is just fine. Noticed those tiny buttons though! You wretch! How come you live in the middle of nowhere and find such super materials and I live in a big town where you can buy 'anything' (as long as it's clothes) and not a decent craft shop for miles. Actually, the nearest reasonable craft shop to me is in Totnes! Hah!! (only about 150 miles!!)

I meant to say I wouldn't change Milly at all - I am talking about any future relatives for the modifications :)

I agree, Rose. Maybe next time, I would stick with linen and cotton. She's growing on me now though, so I think she's escaped the scissors : )

She's adorable! What is Craft Book 12? I typed that into Google and got just random hits.

No offense, but I think Milly may be a transvestite. I hope I can get away with saying that.

Kay, I can see where you're coming from, but if you look closely, you'll notice she has cellulite.

Cute bunny!

i'm for keeping the face too. i think it has so much personality! she looks capable, generous and maybe a little eager to please, but spunky if she's crossed.

Aww, she's adorable! Love her patchwork body!

She's cute! The face is nice - lots of character, and she doesn't have thick enough eyebrows to be a transvestite. Love the patchwork body.

Looooove your bunny! She's adorable.
What's craft book 12?

Lyn, as usual your creations are sublime. She is so cute I could eat her with a spoon. Her face is exactly how it needs to be. Works perfectly for me.

Hugs to you !
