my creative space...
This last week I was in lockdown to finish the little quilts and bunnies for Handmade Heaven, but couldn't resist making a start on one of my submissions for this years Ipswich Show. This bear is made from a very old and well loved (read: very tatty!) Grandmothers flower garden quilt. I bought this piece on ebay and it's just divine. It had been so worn in some spots the owner had re-sewn hexagons over the worn ones to get extra life out of it. The stuffing is going to be slow going, I don't want to poke a hole in him! I've got nothing else planned for the weekend though, so he should be all done by Sunday. (Note my very sophisticated stuffing tool!)

Oh he looks so sad without his stuffing.
Ha ha! I have that very same 'stuffing tool' Selina! It does the job nicely.
Your ted is gorgeous indeed. I love hexagon quilts and I am jealous! :)
Selina he looks like he will be beyond gorgeous!
LOL, VERY sophisticated. He looks like he will be very huggable and soft.
he looks great even in his flattened state. can't wait to see him all fat and stuffed
What a beautiful way to recycle a much loved quilt! Can't wait to see him finished.
a teddy already broken in. That's kinda ingenious :)
He is so beautiful already. Imagine all the history that makes up this bear? An excellent idea for giving the quilt a new life xo
I love how tactile he is, aswell as good looking.
He's going to be a very special little fellow.
I use the same stuffing tool! I love the stuffing bit. its when you get to see what they look like. what there personality will be. Can't wait to see him all finished
He's going to be gorgeous Selina, love that you are using old fabrics. xo
