I really like the bear, too! I have a badly deteriorated quilt that is literally big holes in places, so would like to make a bear from the salvageable parts of it. Did you have a pattern?
Hi Eddie: Good advice about the tattered quilt. Re the bear: The maker already had it stitched up, just hadn't stuffed or finished it. Bear patterns are readily available by the major pattern manufacturers. Just need to select a style you like. I get sewing patterns only on sale, either .99 or 1.99 all the time. If you don't have access, let me know, I'll pick you up one and send it. Penny
