...let's go back to August 2010. My DGS spent a week with us that summer....and one of the things he did was quilt some fabric. It was straight line quilting and I told him I would make a quilted teddy bear for him after all the lines were stitched. He had turned 5 on May 13 that year. It was a big job for a new sewer who was only 5 years old. I was so proud of him....and today I surprised him with his teddy bear.
I found this little sweater and it fit just perfect.
It has been a long time since I made a bear....maybe 8 years or so. I used to make mohair bears....and this week I realized just how much fun they are to make. Mohair has a bit of stretch and it is a lot easier to make a mohair bear than a quilted bear using homespun cottons. I made the paw pads out of 100% wool. Kyler is happy with his new teddy bear and I'm tickled pink at how it turned out.
If anyone can give me the formula for 36 hour days I would really appreciated it. I have so many things I would like to make but just seem to run out of time.
I have a house full of family for a few days. My 2 DS's, DDIL and 3 darling Grandones...
Noreen, we miss you.....she had to stay back in Canada to work.....and look after Miles, their dog that doesn't like the car......
.....I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with lots of hugs and laughter with family and friends.....
