Two New Teddy Bear Quilts

I hated to cut this fabric so I decided to just put batting and backing on it and quilt it for some teddy bear quilts.  I picked this fabric up at the Creative Festival in April in Toronto. I had some black polka dot fabric that went well with the Dalmatian dogs for the binding.

More Teddy Bears and Quilts

I have a lot of fun making quilts for my Teddy Bears for our Christmas Cheer Fund.  

I found this rolly polly guy and just couldn't leave him behind.  I thought he was so cute.  This pattern is a disappearing hourglass with the pieces placed in 4 different ways.

This was a free pattern from Wal-mart given to me by one of the ladies at Neebing Needlers.  It is called Pretty in Pink but I had these fabrics with animal prints and matched the quilt to my little aqua penguin.  A good match I think.

My little Christmas Teddy Bear.  When I bought this one my sister insisted that we check to make sure that he had 2 ears.  It is too scary for a little one to get a teddy bear and remove the hat and find only one ear.  I have made this quilt before, and I love the bright colours.  Some of the fabric has animal prints on it.

This quilt is a Sudoku Quilt made with 3 1/2 inch squares so it makes a perfect size for a teddy bear quilt.  The backing has doggie fabric so my little grey and beige dog fit right in with this quilt.

Another Sudoku Quilt made with 2 1/2 squares so I added a border to make it a bit larger and also added dog fabric for the backing.

Christmas Cheer Kick-off

To-day was the Christmas Cheer Kick-off and we delivered 140 stuffed animals or dolls with their own quilt.  These will be given to needy children in our community from Santa and made with love from the Quilter's Guild.

There were three tables of stuffed animals so I took 3 pictures in order to get a good view of them all.  I think there is just about every kind of animal here as well as some dolls.

We had elephants, bears, bunnies, pigs, foxes, lions, and sock monkeys.

There were big animals and small animals in every shape and size.

Thank you ladies, a great job!!

Lots of Teddy Bears

Last Monday was Guild night and it was the night that we collected Teddy Bears with quilts for Christmas Cheer Fund.

There were over 100 Teddy Bears or stuffed animals collected for needy children.

They will be delivered to Christmas Cheer kick-off next Friday and I'm sure we will end up with more that what is here.  Some people didn't get theirs finished so we are still collecting and will have a final count on Friday.

Sock Monkey Quilt

 I have mentioned before that our Guild makes quilts for Teddy Bears or stuffed animals and gives them to the Christmas Cheer Fund to give to needy children at Christmas time.  I bought a sock monkey last year after Christmas and found some sock monkey fabric at Beaver Bay Quilt Shop.  I made the quilt top at the retreat last weekend and quilted and put the binding on it today.

Teddy Bear Quilts

If you have read my blog before then you know that our Quilt Guild makes quilts for teddy bears or stuffed animals and gives them to the Christmas Cheer Fund at Christmas time so that they can be given to needy children from Santa.  Last year after Christmas I scoured the stores to find some stuffys and found some really cute ones.

I found this spotted dog and was able to buy some dog fabric with a spotted dog on it so I used it for the cornerstones.

This brown and black dog is so dark around the eyes that they are hard to see.

I made this quilt before and liked it so much that I made it again.

I like the primary colours in this one.

This little brown bear is so soft he is very huggable.

Christmas Cheer Teddy Bears

Each year our quilt guild makes quilts for Teddy Bears and gives them to the Christmas Cheer Fund.  Many of the ladies buy the bears and make quilts and then we also receive bears from the Teddy Bear Toss when the local University Hockey Team have a fund raiser by having the fans throw bears onto the ice between periods.  

This year there were 109 bears and dolls turned in to the guild.  I was fortunate to be with the group that delivered them to the Christmas Cheer fund today.  

They were all piled onto three long tables.

Thank you ladies for all your hard work.  I am hoping that next year we can make even more.

Teddy Bear Quilts

Every Christmas our Guild makes Teddy Bear Quilts for Christmas Cheer Fund.  The bears are donated or you can buy one and make a quilt for it.  Two of my bears were donated and the black puppy I purchased at Kohl's.  This is a task that has to be done so I like to get it started and finished in good time.  

I used fabric with paw prints on it and the backing 

and borders is cute dogs to match

the little black puppy.

This is another half hexagon quilt.

These quilts are so fast to put together and I had

quite a bit of children's fabric scraps

so I thought it was a good chance to use them up.

The binding and the backing is care bears.

This was a pattern for a doll quilt that I got off the Internet.

It was done in reds but I found some light and dark

mauve to match the little purple bear.

The background is purple penguins.
