All About Bears
 

In the early 2000’s I started collecting these patterns by Dorothy Baker as we traveled across Canada. I hand appliquéd and hand quilted it, just finishing in January. I only worked on it while visiting with my quilt group every two weeks while doing the appliqué. It is queen size, and I did alter the sashings and borders from her designs. This winter when we had a few days of snow I sat and hand quilted for the most part of three days to finish it off. I have a young GD and what better time to have these teddies on the bed!

Oh those are wonderful. Each and every one of them. So cute. Worth the wait!!

What a lot of work - but so worth it!

Thanks ladies, I am happy each time I walk past the room and look in. It was just like playing cut out dolls choosing all their outfits.

That is a darling quilt! And I'm always in awe of anyone who hand quilts.

It's absolutely fabulous!!! I would love more photos of the blocks, they are so cute.

What a wonderful quilt! All the teddies make you smile.

Wonderful quilt! Love your bears.

What a beautiful quilt. Very sure your granddaughter will love it. You have a great reason to be proud.

Oh that is so cute. What a lot of work that was. A real treasure for your GD
