I am a member of a Quilting Guild, and during one of our regular meetings, I brought along one of the teddy bears I had lovingly made to share during show and tell. One of the members noticed the teddy bear and mentioned that she had the perfect mink coat that would be ideal for making more teddy bears. As it turned out, I was able to create four jointed teddy bears, one large 18 by 18 inch pillow, and two smaller 14 by 14 inch pillows. What I especially loved about this particular project was that it allowed me to preserve someone's cherished memories—a person I knew personally—which made the whole experience even more meaningful and special.

Kathy's fur project was a unique endeavor that included one elegant black mink coat and one luxurious brown mink coat. The black mink coat was skillfully repurposed to create the stunning main throw, while the brown mink was thoughtfully utilized to craft a delightful teddy bear and to add a charming border around the main throw. The final dimensions of the throw measured an impressive 58 by 58 inches wide, making it a perfect addition to any living space. The teddy bear, crafted with care, serves as a wonderful companion for the throw, adding warmth and character to the overall project. Teddy Bear Pattern:

The customer wanted to make a throw and a teddy bear from her mink coat. The coat had both sheared and unsheared fur. The unsheared fur was used in both the bear and the throw's border. The total measurement for this throw was 43 by 47 and the bear is 12 inches tall. Bear Pattern used: Funky Friends Factory ~ Melody Memory Bear Lots of cute animal patterns there.
