A keepsake bear for a new member of my family. Strange names to me but Wilfred is a name from way back in the family. My daughter's comment was "at least the initials don't spell anything dodgy!"
This baby would have been my late sister Mave's fifth grandchild. (Cutie songthrush) His dad is my nephew and godson.
The basic bear design is one I did for the members of my local Janome Club who asked for a bear to go with the bunny they've made lots of. It will probably appear soon on the J-club website.

That's a nice keepsake!
My eldest brother (all 3 are younger than I am, so what do you call him?) has the initials W.C. - not the luckiest choice. Number 2 has A.F. - that does not sound bad, but in Dutch A - F- Af was often used to count down, like ready-steady-go in English.
We did not do much better by using MC before the last initial P for my daughter - she was teased quite a bit when we were living in England. .

He would be your "younger brother". Complicated, isn't it?!
I don't know how best to describe him in Dutch either ...

Your bear is adorable Sue! I have noticed lately that people naming babies are going back to the traditional ones, I much prefer them too. I have heard some strange ones over the years & Wilfred is NOT one of them. A good solid name. Incidentally our oldest initials are TLC lol a happy accident. ~hugs~

TLC sounds so much nicer than my daughter's Male Chauvinist Pig!

Such a great design as it's so easy to hold and cuddle. He looks wonderful. No wonder the ladies at your Janome club love all the things you do and make - everything is so well done. Love Chris

. A excellent Teddy, as it is a very sweet keepsake.
The trend is older names on both sides of pond.
I smiled at your comment of daughter remark. I tend to smile at some of old names that makes some the now generations sound like car names.

Darling, Sue........I agree with the initials, gets a little iffy sometimes with all the 2 and 3 letter inuendos........

Wonderful idea! So cute :) Is it an ITH project? (and if it is, do you sell it?)

Lovely teddy for a lucky little boy. My paternal grandfather went through life with the initials WC. The grandparents add a L to it for my father. (I am sure if we Cuties work hard for your daughter we could come up with something dodgy with Wilfred's initials)

nice thought, giving a little bear. I wonder if the child will be 'Wil' or 'Spike'? or perhaps 'Frank' either way you will get used to it and he will become a little Wil,Spike or Frank.

I think he'll be Spike.

Had an uncle who was Wilfred Alexander and he was a peach of a guy. But he took a made-up nickname!

What's in a name? "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Love the little bear :)

Dear little bear. Wilfred is certainly a name I have not heard of in years.
