Happy Dance: Bear Square [3]

[click for larger image]

Here's the third bear square I completed for my favorite charity group.

This is yet another freebie chart. I downloaded the Tatty Teddy from the Coats Crafts UK website.

This bear chart is a little bigger than the last two, about 40 x 70 stitches. Once again I added a border of hearts to help fill out the square and add some more color.

I like this bear's coat of gray. It stands out from the other two brown bears I stitched. And his tattered fur looks really cute when it's completed. But I gotta tell you, figuring out where to add the "fuzzies" on top of all those shades of gray was not easy. I finally just "winged it" and hoped for the best.


He is one darn cute fuzzy wuzzy bear, though!


This time I took one single motif from the book Better Homes & Gardens 2001 cross stitch designs, and simply repeated it using two shades of red from the balloon. I recommend this book for it's diversity and simplicity.
