My daughter made this teddy bear quilt as a present for her best friend. She chose each fabric to remember the special things that they did together. It’s finished pillowcase-style and tied so that she wouldn’t get too worn out and discouraged by the sometimes long process of making a quilt.
She’s thrilled with the results and is also excited about designing and sewing fashions as well as quilts. And of course fabric shopping … I now have a ready-made partner for hitting all the fabric stores in town!
That's great! My daughter *hates* the fabric store, so you are lucky
How cute, and what a wonderful gift! It's one of those keep for a lifetime kinda things, special!

When my son was younger, he took a kid's class for a chenille palm tree pillow. For a while, he was interested in sewing. But boys will be boys…and at 15 he wouldn't go near a fabric store with a ten foot pole!
Ohhh I find that most kids love to play with color whether its fabric or another medium. I'm teaching art to kids this week and everyone body just wants to experiment with all sorts of color placements – its fun to watch! These are the kinds of projects that you'll always remember!
Like Mother, Like Daughter! Great to get the younger set interested.
