Embroidered Bear and an Update!

 This bear doesn't belong to anyone just yet. I was at Goodwill and happened to walk by the coat rack. I spotted this beautiful brown fleece jacket that had stunning embroidery on it.  I couldn't pass it up! I knew I had to make a bear with it. After a good laundering, it was ready to be deconstructed. Once I started sewing together the pattern pieces, I fell in love with her. I didn't have any idea of who she belonged to yet. The more I think about it, I think she will go to the nursing facility where my Mom spent her last few months of her life. The staff there was so very good to her and took such great care of Mom. 

I'm not sure if you have noticed, but she is my first bear with eyebrows!  I love the expression on her face!  I think all future bears may have eyebrows from now on! I think I will make a few more bears to send to the assisted living facility. People of all ages love Teddy bears, right?? 

A closer look at her embroidery..

I decided what I wanted to do with this bear. I want to keep her!  I entered her in a quilt show with a little quilt that she is 'making.'   I didn't win any ribbons, but that's ok. I'm happy with her and the little quilt I made.
