 Last week when sewing with Sharon she pulled some brown chenille out of my box and suggested that I could stitch a teddy bear with it…I drew a bear shape and used pearl thread to back stitch around it, I was glad that I thought to do longer back stitches because the chenille needed the extra space…for the legs and arms I trellis stited down one side and then as I stitched the second side I laced the thread through the first side between each stitch, for the body I die a row of trellis down both sides and then laced the 2 sides together down the centre, the head is spiral trellis stitch, the ears, which are not attached to the fabric are a row of 3 sitches and a row of 2 stitches.
 I named him Boo Boo because he reminded me of my child hood bear who was in turn named after Boo Boo, Yogi Bear’s offsider…And what did Boo Boo do? I blamed my child hood bear for the naughty things that I did and this little Boo Boo left brown fluff on Sharon’s floor.

BooBoo made me smile – looks a lot like the bear I had that was also naughty. Love your sampler!

SharonB just sent me over – love what you’ve done with the trellis stitch. Both the cup and saucer and the bear are cute and nicely executed. I am going to send a like to BooBoo to a friend who makes bears – I think she will love it.

Phooey. That should have been “send a link” not “send a like”!
