Good morning ladies, today I'm showing off this beautiful Belladonna Bear made by Judith who has recreated her styling to perfection. I love the way she has stitched the seams on the outside of the body which I think looks really effective. She said "the pattern was easy go follow even for me who has arthritis and tendinitis in wrists and hands" This is the 1st Bella Bear image I've received here so many thanks for sharing Judith! ;) xx https://goo.gl/nnREnZ

Good morning Heavenly Ladies, I hope everyone had a good weekend? ....I thought I'd ease you into Monday by showing you this sweet little fella made by Laura, who told me - " I wanted to share with you my first bear made with your lovely pattern. He is made from the baby clothes of my nephew who my sister recently adopted. It was really nice to be able to make such a special keepsake for them both and they love him. It's my first sewing project in many years after getting my first sewing machine at Christmas. I'm really...

Look at this wonderful 20" tall Dainty Dachshund made by Angie who has almost doubled her height by enlarging the pattern pieces. (What a great idea!) Angie told me "I gave her black patches because my little dog Molly has patches and she looks adorable." She also pointed out the family of Harley Teddy Bears sat watching in the background ;)I'm glad you enjoyed making her Angie and its good to know she scales up so well! Thanks for sharing the photo. xxxhttps://goo.gl/VMOLkt

To end the working week I'm showing off this wonderful 'first ever' teddy bear made by Carolyn, who had the lovely idea of using her left over fabric scraps to make a patchwork cushion cover to match her teddy. Its obvious that Carolyn has put a lot of thought into creating her bear and this shows in the attention to detail such as the extra collar and tie which gives him a very unique flavour. Many thanks for sharing the images Carolyn.... Have a great weekend everyone!! ;) xxx

What a beautiful Friday it is..the fog has lifted and the sun is shining down! Today I'd like to show you a very special memory bear made with a great deal of love and care by a lovely lady who has asked not to be named here. She tells me that she is now going to be quite busy making extra patchwork memory bears for other members of her family. What a lovely huggable way to remember someone special.... and sewing mends the soul! xxxhttp://bit.ly/1QJ8qWA
