12Teddy stitcheries for small projects.


12 teddy drawings is a small book with 12 very cute teddies suitable for stitchery projects. They can be stitched on blankets and bags, T-shirts overalls, bibs and dresses. Use a few around the edges of a birth sampler. The pictures you can see here have been colourwashed as well
as stitched..... The cot quilt was made with 6 x 8 inch colour washed blocks with pieced blocks between. I bought 12 x 10cm strips of small cotton prints from my local cheap & cheerful patchwork supplier. The little blocks are 2 & 1/2 " with seam allowance. I cut 10 of each of the colours for the patchwork & used the leftover for the border... which were random lengths 4" wide stitched together in the true scrappy quilt style. Quick to make & heaps of fun. The picture blocks can be just stitched & look just as good. The little book only includes the stitch instructions & the images & is available from my ebay store. If you want to colourwash its not hard. I have also posted colourwashed kits with a single image, threads & stitch instructions for those of you who are not quite ready to go there yet. They are very inexpensive & can be stitched quickly by novices.
