I have started a new mission project this year. These are teddy bears with their own little quilted blanket. It will be an on-going mission gifted to our church's local Miriams Closet which is an outlet serving foster children thru our local DCS and their 6 counties.
I first learned of this project through Mary Johnson of MaryQuilts.com. You can learn about it here at doll/bear quilts – MaryQuilts.com.
Yes, I have small surplus of blocks, scraps, batting, fleece for backing...... well maybe 'small' isn't realistic enough. What a fun way to use some of it. I know I need a break from those huge, detailed quilt-making projects with a bit of colorful and quick fun project now and then. I ordered the teddy bears by the case online. The bears are very soft and cuddly and cute. I hope to go thru this supply and need to purchase another.
I also follow along with the RSC monthly project. Since Angela released the color for January as pink, I started playing in the pink and brown scraps for this little quilt. You can find Angela over at soscrappy.
Okay, on to the first bear hug of 2025 !
This blanket is 22 x 29. I should mention, I quilting the entire piece with assorted free motion swirl designs as practice for Angela Walters swirl challenge. So much going on !
