Bear Family Album - a queen-sized BOM from a few years back, finally pieced in 2012 and beautifully quilted by Barbara Joyce Quilting in Otautau. |
the teddies were hand appliqued over a period of about a year |
Of course, my favourite is the teacher block! |
And our beautiful Bess sneaked in for a photo too (don't tell Brian!) |
I adore the teddy bear album quilt. Your hand applique is marvellous. The bag is lovely too. Bravo.. very well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammy! I am really thrilled with both projects.
DeleteLove that bag, Jen - very cute ... as is Bess. What a sweetie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Glinda! Bess was our rescue from the SPCA as a puppy - she is just gorgeous!
DeleteGreat looking projects!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is nice to finally have the teddies all completed! And I hope my friend gets a nice surprise when she gets the bag!
DeleteLove your projects!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag! Super job! And the Bear Quilt - Oh, how adorable! The hand applique is amazing! Really nice work.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun putting those teddies together - was a good way to still be creative in the tiny house we were living in at the time! Thanks for visiting!
