Another variation on my bear. I did this one with fleece fur and cotton fabric for the tummy area etc. The nose is also different on this one. Would you please give me your thoughts on which and what you like best about these bears. Thanks, Susan

wonderfull work,gr connie

you do a great job!

I don't know which one I like the best. They are both great. I do like this one with the material on his chest, feet, and ears. You are doing a great job on these.

All bears are sooo cute. Especially Love the purple you chose. I've never tried a bear pattern. Would love to stitch up one of my own. I'm afraid if I do one - I'll end up with a house full. Ha

I know what you mean. I can't stop making them. I lo e them all.

I particularly like this one!

Oh he is so cute . I just want to cuddle him. Hugs Joyce

All are lovely. Your fabric choice is great and I'll be looking for similar blankets, as you suggested, as my fleece is too thick. Could you stand a ruler up alongside to show the scale as this is hard to judge? I know they take a lot of time and effort ! Jan

When they stand up (with belp oc course) they are about 11 inches tall. They're not too big,but the one I gave my GD that just turned 2 was the perfect size for ber tuck under her arm and carry around.

Well it's hard for me to give you thoughts about your bears as I love bears. I collect them so they all look great to me.

Very sweet and huggable.

Great job. Just beautiful.

All your bears are adorable!

would you like a hint from an old sewer of care bears. if you take a needle and scratch along your seams, like feet , arms and the rest, it will pull the hairs out and cover the seams up. not that they aren't fine the way they are.

You may laugh when I tell you... I go to WalMart, they have bed pillows there for $2.50 usually and I buy those. They have the same polyfill stuffing in them as the bags of polyfill stuffing in the craft department just cheaper. Good luck on your bear. If you have any problems let me know. I'll help if I can. Hugs, Susan

Susan Your bears are just way to gorgeous..My youngest would love this bear particulary for the purple colour lol.. may i ask how your machine coped with the fur, mine did not like it until i used wss over the top then my machine was fine.. i found a lot of lint with fleece fur going up the needle shaft.
Look forward to seeing gorgeous creations
big hugs from London - Maria xx

The fleece fur did seem to slow down my Brother machine a bit, but my Babylock didn't seem to care. The wss is a good idea. I did not think of that. A good place to use up wss scraps. No, I don't have any problem with fur on the needle shaft. My problem was the thread breaking. Now I use a heavier thread to stitch them both on the machine and by hand. Hugs, Susan

I just love all your bears. You do such a wonderful job on them. They all look so soft and cuddly. Shirley

I am with cj2sew! They are all wonderful! How much time does it take you to make one? After you decide what to use.

Well I' e gotten quicker the more I make, about three hours to embroider and the same to do the stuffing and hand sewing. But I don't sit and make one straight through. I do each bear in three parts. I do the embroidery and take a break. Then I turn the pieces and stuff them usually while watching TV. Then later I will assemble the bear. I' usually dreaming up what the next one will look like wben I'm in bed trying to fall asleep. Hugs, Susan

I never met a teddy bear I did not like!
When I grow up I will become a politician.

Awwwwww this one melts my heart must be his fabric color. Love the feet, the big nose fabric on them, the plastic button nose, ears different. Flat out honest they are all with own personality.

My thoughts are, I think he (or she) is perfect!! You did a wonderful job on him (or her) . I am such a fan of Teddy Bears that, I have to say, they are all wonderful!! Hugs, Laura*
