Not Bears but VW's!

Not a Memory bear this time. A VW Bug instead! 😀

My husband and I have a Volkswagen Bug/ Crosley restoration shop. These two pillows were made for two of our customers. These two ladies have been a part of our lives for a long while. So long that they are like family now.  I decided to make each one a pillow to go with each of their vehicles. Carl (my husband) drew the Bug and I appliqued and quilted it. One of his many gifts is his ability to draw cars. He doesn't think he is amazing, but I sure do!!

 Hello again! 

Another bear finish. He is made from a well loved man's dress shirt. It is a gift from a Mom to her daughter who is due to have a baby this month. This bear is made from the shirt her Dad wore when she was born.  The dress shirt was the most worn fabric I have yet to work with . I know it was a favorite. I had just enough fabric left to make a baby bear. 




This back of the collar was so unique, I had to keep it attached to the collar. This fabric was so very fragile, I used stabilizer to keep it from shredding and fray check on some of the seams.  I like to use the label of the clothing too.  

I know I always say this, but I feel so privileged to be a part of this very special gift. 

If you know anyone who would like a memory bear, please contact me at caringheartcreations22@gmail.com
