Another Sweater Teddy Bear!

Posted on May 22, 2014 by Pillows A-La-Mode

Recently I had the privilege of making a sweater teddy bear for Sharon of Gentlestitches, both shown in the photo below. Sharon sent a well-loved carousel-horse-print sweater all the way from Australia to Kansas, USA and wrote such a lovely post when her bear (now named Eddie!) arrived home. Here’s to bloggy friends near and far! ♥ P.S. Click here and here for more bear love.

We LOVE Eddie the Pillows A La Mode Bear. My young son said “Eddie should sit on the living room couch so everyone can see him, rather than in a bedroom.” Even though he is a Teddy Bear he has a “pillow” look about him too. Lol! Your “pillow making” is subtly shining through. 🙂
Hugs from Sharon and Eddie. ❤

What a wonderful way to recycle sweaters. The bears are so cute. 🙂

How nice to have such a cute bear to cuddle! (I guess one could cuddle a sweater, but this little bear is so much better!) You are so creative and generous. Enjoy your creative day!

What a terrific story! I can “bearly” contain my happiness for you both. Have you ever thought of playing “Where In The World Is Eddie-Bear?” Best wishes always.

  What a great idea! I should have taken him around my city for a photo shoot before sending him home! 🙂
