I know I said I don’t like patchwork cushions but I loved this design by Pat Bravo...
Made it with my own choice of fabrics, there’s a bit of patchwork but it’s mainly appliqué ...
That’s Ted sitting there.. he’s 67 years old!..I used to operate on him!

@Efemera that cushion is beautiful, so unique! And poor Teddy he's lovely but has some scars :hug: and needs a nice warm blanket  :loveit: How nice to still have him from childhood.  Unfortunately, I come from a broken family and have nothing of my past and often wonder what happened to my handmade teddy, he would be over 60 years old now  :)

@Efemera  He looks like my teddy.  He has had operations too, I removed the defunct music box and fitted a Mama box from a broken doll, but I took that out. He had felt paw pads but some wore through so some of them are brown velvet. He also had to have a new neck joint, but he is still with me.

Lovely cushion, lovely teddy. So special to still have him after so long. I still have mine and also my grandmother's. Sadly my father's was lost when he travelled from South America to the UK as a young lad.

What’s a lovely cushion! And Teddy clearly loves it.
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.
