A comment Jeannine of BeStitched made about how lovely the cat topiary garden design is reminded me that I haven't mentioned dede Odgen's three other topiary garden designs. All are set in the same garden my cat topiary garden piece shows. First, here is the whimsical three panel rabbit angel piece. Doesn't that background look familiar?

There are also two non-traditional Christmas stockings that feature rabbits in Renaissance costume in the topiary garden. One stocking features female rabbits.

The other features male rabbits. They would make a dynamite Christmas set, wouldn't they? Even if you aren't really a Christmas stocking person or up for stitching a three piece set, you can enjoy the lovely topiary garden series dede created.

There may be other topiary garden pieces (if so, please let me know so I can post more links or photos here) but these are the only ones I know about. Of course many designers use the same background in several pieces, but it makes me particularly happy to know just what lies behind the locked gate of my cat topiary garden.

Hi Jane, the 2nd 2 links aren't taking us anywhere for the bunny topiaries. Just a FYI!

Jeannine, that's very odd. They take me right to both stocking images. Try this. Go to dede's website.

Now click on Christmas stockings. You should get a page with all her stocking designs, including the two topiary ones. Sorry. I don't know what is going wrong with you since it works just fine for me.
Hi Jane, I love these bunny Christmas stockings by Dede. I was taken with them when we saw them at the Long Beach show in January. Thanks for reminding me how wonderful these designs are.
