All so cute and ready for you to combine your love of bears and embroidery to create a beautiful heirloom quilt featuring these 12 gorgeous Bears.

The patterns have been designed to be completed in a 2 ply crewel wool, we would recommend Appleton 2 Ply Crewel Wool, however the designs could just as easily be completed in either

DMC Stranded Cotton or Anchor Stranded Cotton depending on the finished use of your project.

Other ideas for these designs could be: Framed pictures for a nursery or a child’s room, baby bags, bibs and pockets on pinafores or pants.

Detailed instructions to assemble and complete the Quilt are also included in the book.
