Mama Bear
February 2016
Baby Bear was the final quilt in my Three Bears series, and I am thrilled to have it finished in time to include it, along with Papa and Mama Bear, in this year’s Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge!
The picture of the Papa Bear quilt was shown on this blog back in December. It had been my desire to have these three quilts stay together as a set, and I felt that it was serendipitous that this years' Hands2Help Challenge includes the Yukon Women's Transition Home in Whitehorse, Yukon. It is my hope the Three Bears will find a new home with a mom and her kids. I am inspired by these words on their website, “Kids deserve to feel safe". These are words that fuel me to make and donate quilts for kids.
Woohòo.wonderful quilts that will be treasured by a family in need of comfort.
ReplyDeleteThanks! As mentioned when I first made Papa Bear, while I like to make a different pattern for each of my quilts - to not only challenge myself, but to keep things lively - I really enjoyed doing this as a set based on the Bear's Paw design. They're not exactly the same... I did mix it up a bit ;)
DeleteBeautiful quilts, Jean! And the Yukon Women's Transition Home is the perfect place for them to find a home...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThey are beautiful! I can't wait to delver them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nita! I mailed them out on 5/3 priority mail, so hopefully you get them no later than early next week. I am happy to see them go to this very worthy cause.
DeleteBless you, Jean. They will be well loved.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am grateful that I have the time, resources, and ability to make and donate quilts. It is personally very fulfilling.
DeleteWhat a great take on a traditional pattern! Just the kind of thing I like to make. And especially nice when it's going to someone who needs it. Sylvia at Treadlestitches, piecethepast@att.net
