Bear Hug # 9 & 10

 Now I'm torn whether to call my batch of stuffies wrapped in blankets as Bear Hugs or Care Bears.  What do you think??  ( due to overwhelming choice from some quilty friends, it shall remain "Bear Hugs")  Thanks to everyone for your input.

This is # 9.  I spent too much time quilting on it.  I would like to finish #10 by tomorrow to keep up with my goals.  In the meantime here is # 9 for this year ..........  this little blanket is made with the twist n stitch tool.  Such fun,  I want to make a bigger one now.  Please ignore the patch job I had to do on one petal due to mis-cutting.  This guy measures 23 x 27.


Here is the fleece print on the back.  So cuddley with batting and fleece.  I quilted it with yellow Glide thread.



Here is the little guy getting wrapped up in the blanket for gifting  ..




and now a revision to this post.  I did get bear hug # 10 finished this morning.  It was made from an orphan/test block from the 1-1/2" strip bin.  I birthed this one instead of binding..... probably won't be doing that again.


Here is the back and his stuffie is a PBS Kids.

  8. It seems I'm with the majority - Bear Hugs. After all isn't that what a quilt does? Give the recipient hugs and the recipient can hug the bear.

  9. Your Bear Hugs will certainly provide plenty of hugs for the kids. Great job!
