You Are Getting BEAR-ry Sleepy!

Finishing up day on this quilt was just fraught with mis-placed stitches that had to be removed and bobbins that emptied at just the wrong moment, etc. etc., making the "letting go" much easier!

      Second time attending a Blanket Dayz quilting/knitting/crocheting day for the local chapter of Project Linus. A friend from church had told me about the event after she found out I liked to quilt. Quilts and blankets are provided for the local hospitals. Some quilts go to teens, so it's not all baby quilts. 

       My first project was too ambitious for this type of thing, but I had seen the appliqued bears quilt in a book quilt instructor Sandy had given me, and I just wanted to give it a try. Project Linus provided me with most of the fabric. I already had the brown for the bears, and used some old trim for some of the decorative bedding. 

       A young lady from our regular quilting group let me have some scraps she had already pieced and trimmed away, which became the pink patchwork blanket for the bear in the upper left corner of the quilt.

      I enjoyed doing this quilt, but will definitely choose something more straightforward for next time 'round. Sure hope whoever gets this one enjoys the little bears as much as I have.
