More Teddy Stitching

What is it about a blue sky and light breeze that lifts your spirits? After the miserable skies we have had lately I am delighted to see such a pretty day.
I have been very diligent in my bear sewing. First the finished applique block...
I then put a simple quilt top together but I think it looks rather sweet.
She also has a garland of red guipure lace daisies and I think perhaps a lady beetle on her foot in the works. I am going to bind it in the red check. No borders. I like that look.
I also began "pink" Faerie Bear...poor thing has no face yet.
My little stitchery bears have not been neglected either and I managed to finish block 3 and start block 4.
They are such fun to dress in threads and stitch. I am loving it.
Lastly my "Tea & Roses" table runner is a new project in the latest Country Threads Magazine.
I used some of my dwindling stash of favourite Robyn Pandolph fabric for it. Does anyone else stroke their favourite fabrics and sigh or is it just me.
Enjoy your weekend all.
Blessings Michelle x

    I so love the bear angel quilt-it is gorgeous. The bear stitchery is looking cute also! I wish we would get your rain but doesn't look that way-we really need a drop or two!

    I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I'm making the most of that today.
    The bear quilt is coming along beautifully.
    Your bear block is so cute too.

    I have always loved Robyn Pandolph fabrics Michelle and they are very difficult to cut into!!! Your bear quilt and stitchery are just too cute and gorgeous. It's so nice to see the sun today, I've been washing and hanging clothes furiously!!! x

    Your bears are just to sweet for words. The stitching you do is so perfect I just love it. Oh no I also stroke my fabric fabrics with love. Sometimes to just hate to cute them up. Congratulations on the magazine spot. That is AWESOME.
    Hugs

    Lovely work as always Michelle. Sure wish that magazine was around here , looks like a lovely project . Yes I do have fabrics that I just have the hardest time to cut into but I love to look at and just feel their softness . Hugs

    You picked the perfect fabrics to showcase your bear. I LOVE it. No 2 is going to be just as sweet. You did an awesome job.

    I have a pile of Meadowsweet fabric I’ve been hoarding for well over three years , too afraid to cut into it . Occasionally I take it out and think of all the beautiful things I could make with it. I’ve finally decided on a quilt but do you reckon I’ve cut it yet ?

    I definitely love to feel my fabrics and look at them often. That's half the fun I think. Love your bear stitcheries. Hugs Noela.

    I saw this in Country Threads. Congratulations. xxx. I had put it on my list of 'things to do from other designers' list.
    It's beautiful.
