I got around to reading this thread just today, but it's been interesting. Several years ago I made a fleece quillow for my goddaughter. Since she lives in Montana, I don't see her often, but when I was there two years ago, I recognized the teddy bears...and yes, she still uses it, and tucks her feet into the pocket...and it is getting faded, so I know it is loved!
Oh, and yes, this thread has given me lots of ideas for Christmas gifts...and graduation gifts!
Thank you so much...ALL of you!
