Making Memories Through Quilts
You are never too old to want and have a teddy bear.
This is a teddy bear I made for my niece, Ashley, from a quilt I made her many years ago. The quilt was loved and used until it was nearly used up. I was able to cut out a few of the undamaged sections to make her this lovable bear.
This particular pattern has only two pattern pieces, two for the front and two for the back. It’s pretty quick to sew up and lightly stuff. This pattern makes a kind of floppy bear, it’s not tightly stuffed like some stuffed animals, so it makes this one particularly huggable. I did not add the eyes and nose to this one and just let the used quilt be all it needs. I gave this to Ashley on Christmas and she just fell in love with it. Note – I love it, too!
