Bear With Me

HELLO!!!  Thank you so much to all of you who continue to check my website for updates.  The move planning is going along.  I will be in a new home cross country by mid-September.  Until then my quilting projects are on hold... but not the retail therapy...

I came across this print in the latest issue of APWQ, and I fell in love and had to have some.  I LOVE teddybears.  I bought a bunch of fabric and the main and pillowcase panels... now to find the perfect pattern to showcase how fun this fabric is... I have a collection of teddy bears (over 100) and so a quilt in this fabric will be the perfect accent on my rocking chair in the future "teddy room."

Enjoy!  It's called "Bear With Me" by Fabri-Quilt

I tried a different bear pattern and some of the embossed fabric that is popular right now and came up with this bear... She's pink, she's soft, she's cuddly. I added the cream colored middle to her belly. But I thought she was kinda naked, so... I dressed her up a bit. I had found these cool flowers that were easy to apply. Having no dress patterns, I came up with a simple strapless that had a bow in back and came to a train. The fun thing about this bear, as she strikes a pose, is that I experimented with putting in a safety joint so she can turn her head. Is this her better side? Hmmm....
