How soft & cuddly is this pink, fluffy teddy made by Margaret from the Harley Bear Pattern. She said... ''Pink bear for my daughters charity pink day at school going to have to donate to guess the name of the bear xx" I'd guess that she's called Candyfloss! Thanks for sharing Margaret and I hope she raises lots of pennies for the charity ;) xx https://goo.gl/EaBZhA

Further to last months post about The Cottingly Fairies I have this lovely update from Jane, who told me... "Here is Toddy - one of the pet names I had to for Dad. He is made from his "hope shirt" which he was wearing in hospital and came back from double pneumonia and made it "home"...he is Toddy the Taurean as he was made on Sunday 7th which makes him a little bull bear. Xx"Lovely result Jane! Thanks for the update I think Toddy and Hildegard make a perfect pair. xxxhttps://goo.gl/GxaFO1

Good afternoon all, today I thought you might like to see a different take on the Ella Elephant pattern. Nic told me "Sharing with you another Ella elephant , this time I've made her so she can stand, slightly altered the pattern by making two pairs of back legs... my granddaughter loves her as do I"And I love seeing the results of your creative experimentation, Ella looks great with 4 back legs. Thanks for sharing Nic  xxhttps://goo.gl/AKw98Y

After falling in love with a picture of a harp-playing hare from a mediaeval illuminated manuscript, Dr. Karen started making applique rabbits on cushions and cases for her friends. She said..."When I saw the My Fabric Heaven “Lacy Rabbit”, I couldn’t resist making it. I first made a pink one, before I realised that another friend, librarianship lecturer Anne, shared my enjoyment of mediaeval rabbit illustrations. Some “printed pages” material in my fabric stash looked ideal for a bookish friend, so I set to work making a bookish Lacy Rabbit for Anne." Bookish bunny then traveled from Karen in Scotland...
