Baby Wilderness Quilt

I was contacted by a friend to make a custom quilt from a photograph that she presented to me. It turned out that it was a baby wilderness animal panel by Northcott fabrics. It's been discontinued and I could not find the fabric anywhere. So, I tried to recreate it in the best way that I could. I used 27 different embroidery threads, 33 different fabrics, and over 150 applicated pieces in this project. The final measurement of the quilt was 47 inches in width by 56 inches in length. It was a really fun project. I loved all the different use of colors in the fabrics as well as the threads.

Mink Coats Transformed into 3 Teddy Bears & a Mink Bunny

I was contacted by a customer who wanted to turn their deceased wife's mink coats into teddy bears for his grandchildren. He had a particular style of bear in mind, but he wanted them all to look a bit different. The pattern that was used was the same for each of the bears, but their look is completely different. The pattern that I used was named Sebastian, and will make a 15 inches fully jointed traditional teddy bear. They even have a small pattern for a shirt collar. Although the pattern is designed for mohair I was able to use it for real fur. My final project measured approximately 14 inches due to the bulk of the real fur seams.

The fox trim was used in the belly area as well as the shaved down brown parts of the face and ears.

The Bunny pattern is quite cute. It is a traditional plush animal with non movable joints. Measures about 9 nines high.. The pattern can be purchased here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1384893435/adorable-bunny-rabbit-plush-diy-pattern?ref=yr_purchases.
