Hand embroidered, only on top, does not have sewing on the back, in leiu of it being pre-quilted, if you will zoom in you will see the labor of love at all the precious stitches that makes it pop. one of a kind and that for sure. I will answer any question/ reasonable priced, user and washable friendly. will be a

keepsake for years to come, very durable.
PS: look at the whiskers, and other areas, I wish you could se, feel and run your hand over it, it does every thing, but talk to you, because I have stitched animal life into the animals.
