You know when you see a project and you want to make it right now? That's what happened to me. This Bunny Mini Mat. The outer most layer (olive green) is about 11 1/2" round. Saw a picture of the mat and I had seen this cookie cutter set (stayed in my mind) and thought I know what to make. So if you want a quick project before Easter - this could be for you. I started this just last Saturday and finished today. No I did not work on it day and night. Honest.

I hand free cut small flower shapes and centers for flowers. I also hand free cut leaves.
Attached them.
Next I stitched everything on the black felt 1st. Then attached it to the olive green felt. Finished the olive green felt with a blanket stitch all around. That's it!
Okay I only meant to explain how I made this mat and it kind of looks like a tutorial. Really this is not my intention and there are many problems with this. I am assuming you already know how to make a blanket stitch, french knots, etc. etc..
I am just so excited to share with you what I made. And trust me! If I could make this you can to. I just remembered where I saw this - at http://carolinastitcher.blogspot.com/ her name is Faye. She did stitch this (and its beautiful), but hers was a kit. I already had the felts, and beads. I just bought the cookie cutter set (that I had been looking at).
Thank you so much for visiting me. I love all your comments.
Keep stitching - with much love and appreciation Annette - California
