Decapitation, a lost eye and some good news.

I went through a bear making phase many years ago and this chap is the only one I had left. He was getting grubby so I put him through the washing machine. I've done it before, but perhaps not on the 1400 spin speed. I've given all the joints away so perhaps I can do some sort of fix but I'll have to remember he's not safe for children any more.
And then I found Paddington with his eye out.... I expect there's some way of fixing his sight.

The good news is I have the last side of this border in place finally. I am very pleased with how it's looking. I think the next border shall have swags and I'll place another narrow strip of the navy dot between them.

  1. I love it! All of it: The bears and the quilt. My husband's grandmother makes teddy bears. She gets fur coats at garage sales and the salvation army, then makes them out of those. They're wonderful!

    I love Paddington and his golashes.

  3. You sure know how to get our attention! Thank goodness it's just the bears with these problems.

    The quilt is looking great. I had my doubts - some of those fabrics not my style, but you have done wonderful things here.
