I am so happy to be done.........
Quilted in the ditch as I did the first one (descriptions on that topic) and handquilted on the frame as I did not dare to do free motion on this quilt. Pics of the minis I already put on this board.

At the time I went to the LQS for coordinating fabric for the attic window, the owner (approx. 70 and quilting for decades) asked after a quick look on the bears with the minis for permission to show them in the backroom where a class was taking place.
I should have taped those ahs and ohs :oops: :oops: and after a while the teacher almost barked at me: when are you done!?

She is organizing early February an exhibition and told me that I Have to put this quilt on display. I blushed all over - the first time in about 30 years...........
It is a very small thing as quilting is not that popular over here but I am anyway quite flattered.

Fabulous quilt! Love all the "little" details! :)

JenelTX 01-18-2011 05:50 AM

That is adorable, creative, and intricate! Any child who receives this quilt will spend hours looking at each different bear and the quilt on each bear's bed. The moon and stars in one corner add to the whimsical fun of the quilt. You should definitely display it!

marymm 01-18-2011 05:53 AM

adorable; makes me want to smile...Such examples might help make quilting popular over there!

What a special project, beautiful work.

Granna of 5 01-18-2011 05:58 AM

Wow, this is one of those that makes you proud to be a quilter. Your workmanship is outstanding.

Cherylsea 01-18-2011 06:07 AM

That is just an amazing job! I have never seen anything like it. The miniatures are wonderful by themselves but made into teddy bear quilts....absolutely wonderful!

Gotta change my computer screen back ground now! :)

I've had this bear top as my background ever since you posted it.

I Love It!! Well done!

One day (hahahaha) I'm going to make one of these! ROFL- One day!!!

Just one word....Wow

suebee 01-18-2011 06:23 AM

This is so adorable! I guess I missed the minis, but sure glad I got to see this. Amazing!! Im curious, what type of batting do you use when hand quilting? I just started to hand quilt (Im addicted) trying to learn as much as I can.
Thanks so much for sharing.

pippa 01-18-2011 06:24 AM

That is the most beautiful children's quilt I have ever seen! Whereabouts are you in Switzerland? I'd love to come and see it in person when your shop has the exhibition.

Your work is very, very nice. All of the different quilts are so interesting and of course they are extra special because of the small size. It was certainly worth all of the extra effort you put into this project. Enjoy it!!

I love, love, love attic window and I like how you both stitched in the ditch and hand quilted. I'm going to keep that in mind as I like to do some hand quilting,too. Lovely job and lovely choice of fabrics and themes.
Any particular season why quilting is not very popular there?
By the way, with all of the terrible weather around the world, what is your winter like so far?

Sandi19 01-18-2011 06:56 AM

Oh my goodness, I'm very impressed. How nice that you're being showcased at the quilt shop!

lovingmama 01-18-2011 07:10 AM
