Polar Bear Swim
 

This was my first attempt at using a pattern to make a quilt and in this case a wall hanging designed by Cindy Shake an Alaskan artist. Although, this piece is only 15 inches, it was quite enjoyable to make with the different colored batiks and threads. Even learned how to do partial seams!
It has inspired me to make a companion piece with a brown bear with a salmon.

FUN.... love the colors too!

nicely done

That is sooo cute! I really like it!

So pretty! Great job! I love polar bears.

I love it!

Oh no! I forgot to put the bubbles on it...stay tuned for another pic.

I look forward to your brown bear. good work.

Way to go!

please post a picture of the brown bear when you are finished

Next you'll have to make a black bear with a bird feeder.

What a cute and fun quilt, terrific job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Oh that's adorable! Love the colors and the expression on his face. You could go a long way with this. You can several and have them hanging next to each other on the wall.

Updated with rhinestone bubbles.

Great work!!!!
