Teddy Bear Picnic
Our local churches hold a combined Vacation Bible School, which will begin this week. They asked our quilt group if we would be willing to make teddy bears for them, that the attendees will stuff and sew them shut and they will be donated to the nearest hosptial for the children who come in to be treated for various ailments. Our group was more than happy to oblige!
Each of us made 10 bears, using pinking shears around the edges so no one had to turn them, but still safe for the young recipients.
My two youngest kids helped me pick out “boy” and “girl” fabrics, traced the patterns and then pressed the 10 that we were supposed to make:
Then, my husband picked up the other bears that our group members made:
I’m SO proud to be part of this quilt group, and I’m so thrilled that the ladies I quilt with are so generous with their time and fabric! Hopefully, the VBS children will enjoy finishing the bears – we sure had fun making them!
Dearest Tammy,
So thankful to know our community has such giving hearts! We at the Medina VBS committee are thrilled to have you guys be a part of this. It is our hope that the kids who come to VBS this week will take away not only the evidence of God’s love for each and everyone of them, but also know how wonderful it is share that love with others through their efforts (and that of so many more) :o) Just gotta say, Quilters ROCK! Especially our Medina Quilters! Blessings! Happy Quilting!
