I'm constantly amazed at the generosity
expressed here in the land of blog!!!
Saturday a package arrived from a sweet blog reader
with a special surprise inside ~
a precious handmade bear!!!
It's made from a beautiful old quilt
with wear in just the right places...
Gretchen makes each and every one herself and sent me one as a gift!!
Well, you know where this little cub is going....
right on the bed to wait for our sweet Clara to play with.
I thought I would keep him here as a special friend
to play with when she visits!
Thank you so very much Gretchen, he's absolutely wonderful!!!
You can visit Gretchen's website at PatchyBears.com ~

Hi Dawn. It's wonderful to hear that Clara is on her way to getting well. Just in time for her first Christmas. Gretchen's bear is so cute. What a pleasant Christmas surprise for you. I'll have to go visit her website. Thanks for sharing Rebecca's giveaway with us because I'm going to head straight over there.
Hugs...Tracy :)

Hi Dawn,

Aw, Dawn, he already looks much-loved! Clara's little hugs will make him even more so! What a sweet and thoughtful gift.
Diane
That bear is adorable! Glad Clara is getting better!
Hi Dawn:
Love your sweet little bear. What a great idea. I have just a piece of an original wedding ring quilt from when my husband and I were first married. Perhaps I'll have to incorporate it into something new - a new quilt or a little pillow - instead of saving it in a drawer. Your place is always so much fun to visit and so inspirational.
Glad to hear Clara is feeling better, too. We can all breathe easier for you, my friend.
Merry Christmas!
Donna
So glad to hear Clara is getting better and I just love this little bear..she will cherish it.
Hugs, Doreen
What a sweet blogger friend to send you that precious bear. He looks so lovingly made with the old quilt. I love it.
Little Clare is going to love him too.
I'm thankful that your little Clara is doing well.
Happy Holidays.
hugs~~Sissie
The bear is just gorgeous! Perfect! Hope Clara continues to feel better and you all enjoy the holidays!

Poor little Clara! I am praying for her to get well soon--that is so scary! I so know what you all have been going through--hope all of you get some rest!
Dawn,
That bear is just about the cutest thing ever! Clara will love playing with him. I know what you mean about Christmas, I looked at the Christmas countdown on my sidebar today and YIKES!! 4 DAYS! Lisa
So glad to hear that Clara is finally on the mend.
Dear sweet Dawn were your ears burning yesterday? At my Christmas Tea we were all talking about special Blog friends that we wish could have been with us & the friendships we have made during this past year. And of course your name came up!!!!!! Love your new bear & I am sure Clara will too! Have a wonderful week leading up to this special day! Hugs! Charlene
I could use a good teddy bear about right now.
I'm so glad to read that Clara is getting better, she's been in my prayers! She will love your "patchy bear". What a lovely idea ~ the tag is so sweet too.
