I have chosen a traditional feel to my sampler with added rabbitieness! When we first discussed this RR I knew I wanted a Band and Spot sampler using Brenda Keyes' motifs but then Karen went and mentioned bunnies! So after numerous evil bunny pictures winging back and forth I thought it would be fun to ask each stitcher to include a little bunny in her piece.
Here is mine:
The idea is that each stitcher will stitch her bands above my bands moving up the chart and will also stitch one or more motifs in the bottom part of the sampler along with her bunny.
Once again I am mailing to Kathy, the RR Mods like to match the overseas stitchers with each other so I often mail to or receive from Kathy (or Sophia in Australia but she's not doing this one).
I have two more finishes but they have been mailed to other people so I won't show and tell until the recipients have them in their hot little hands.
Finally, don't forget to sign up for the Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop this February 14th. All you have to do is email me a picture of something you have stitched which is suitable for a stitching friend on Valentine's Day. It could be a heart, or a pair of cute creatures, or the word "love" or anything which warms your heart. Really anything you think a fellow stitcher would like to receive in her email Inbox. It can be something you've stitched in the past or something you've made especially for this year. It could also be quilted or sewn this year as I know some of my followers do other crafts too.
Send me the email by 10th February.
When I have all the emails I will randomise them and send one to each participant on 13th February. Then on 14th February you must post the picture you receive onto your blog under the heading
Secret Stitching Sweetheart.
There will be a list on my blog of everyone joining in, so check out all the blogs and find out who got your picture and identify yourself in their comments as their
Secret Stitching Sweetheart.
Does that make sense to everyone? I hope so!
If you'd like to be involved then leave a comment on this post, I'll be putting little reminders up from time to time and will email on 9th February to make sure you send the pic in time.

Oh your RR sounds like a great idea. It is going to turn out wonderful.
I already told you I would like to do the Secret Sweetheart Stitching. ;)
All the bunnies will be so cute in the sampler. I love the colors you chose the the alphabet portion shown in the picture.
Lovely rr. I love band samplers. The rabbit motifs will look so sweet
What a great start to your band sampler - have fun with the RR.
Look forward to seeing your RR sampler as it progresses (although I guess we won't see it again now until it's finished!)
A lovely new start :)
The RR is looking good though I can't help thinking of Anya from Buffy "Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies!"
Oh go on then...you twisted my arm Jo. I am so behind on blog reading that I have only just seen this!

A great idea for a band sampler, I have a weakness for those too, always so lovely to see and to stitch too.
