Memory Bear… Marc.

Renee Chester's Quilting AddictionMay 27, 2018Uncategorized

I did something a little different today… I made a bear using a pattern that I found online at How Joyful. Here is the linkhttps://www.howjoyful.com/howjoyful-bear-tutorial-and-pattern/

When I was transferring rooms I found a bag of leftovers from my brothers shirts that I had previously made a guilt for my Aunt. I figured it was time to make something for my New Studio that I could look upon and remember Marc my little brother. I can tell that I’m healing as I was not emotional like when I made the quilt for Aunty Nicole.

I really had fun making the How Joyful bear.. Id like to thank Joy Kelly for allowing us to use her pattern…

This is the bear that I was able to finish this afternoon. A few hiccups along the way nothing that my seam ripper could not fix. I added the tie if i can find a black leather clip on then will be replacing it.. I can remember Marc wearing that tie when he was a teenager. The buttons came from the button container that I inherited we would play with and spend hours sorting when we were little.

This bear has found a permanent home on the shelf in my studio.

I live by Mayerthorpe, Alberta Canada.A mother of 3. In my spare time I have 2 loves: Quilting and my horses these work well with the seasons. I started quilting when my oldest daughter was born 25+ years ago. I was making western shirts, when I quilt making those I had lots of bright cotton so I started making quilts. Over the last 17 years I have really gotten into it. I started taking an applique and a free motion class at my LQS. I'm now at the point where I no longer purchase Patterns. I've actually started designing my own. In 2015 I invested in EQ7 Quilt design program. In 2013 I purchased a HQ Sixteen on a 12 foot frame. View all posts by Renee Chester's Quilting Addiction
