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
is it possible to get some sorta matching material and just sew another binding over the old tattered one? i would hate to cut off any part.
