Ballerina bear quilt wall hanging.After about 10 yrs it is finally finished for a 2yr old birthday present.<br /><br />
The bears are all hand blanket stitched applique.<br /><br />
I fell in love with this when I saw it at a Stitches & Craft shows years ago.Finished stitching the bears quickly but couldn't find any fabric that I liked for the border .Years later found some ,then I couldn't find a suitable size stencil to stitch on the border which looked bare to me.Managed to melt a small hole in the nylon organza when ironing it,put some nail polish on the hole so it wouldn't fray.Found some very small sequins to sew over the hole & to decorate some of the skirts ,so it wasn't easily noticed.

I think its perfect, in every way. I'm sure the child and her mother will love it. Everything seemed to be well thought out and sometimes creativity can't be rushed!

Thank you. Going to use the blanket stitch on the sewing machine in future- a lot faster.

This is so sweet. I like the hand work. I really love that it is finished! There is hope for my UFI's also! I call them unfinished items since, well you can guess why.

Thank you.Still got 3 more to complete .One came to a complete stand still because I needed to use the embroidery machine & the one I had at the time wasn't very good & I didn't want to wreck all my hard work.The other 2 are hand stitch & are waiting for me to find some suitable fabric to finish them off.
