This week I spent time making Memory Bears from the shirts of a neighbor’s family member who passed away.
I tried to incorporate those things which made the shirts unique like embroidered patches and special tags. When possible, I use the shirt’s buttons as the bears’ eyes.
Fortunately I was almost done before a certain stinkymonster noticed what I was doing and wanted to play with the bears.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE MEMORY BEARS
HUGSSSSSSSS
I do Memory Quilts, too! 💕
Not surprisingly, I didn’t know about these things. It’s strikes me as a very nice and thoughtful thing to do. As you say, the key seems to be storing them above the height that a certain Cairn terrier can leap.
It is also very important in phrases such as, “Don’t pick the grapes below the level of the dog”. 🍇
Those are so cute! What a great idea…
Aw, thanks! ❤️
They are awesome
Thanks! I hope the little girls that will receive the bears have good memories of Papa.
What a wonderful idea! They are so cool! Every child should have a teddy bear to cuddle. 🙂
Hey, Toby: Maybe every dog should, too! 😉 😛
(((HUGS))), PATS and RUBS!!! 🙂
If by “cuddle” you mean “dismember”, then yes!
Sure, Toby, that works, too! 😉 😀 😛
👍
I think my niece is going to do this – her dad just passed and she’s having a very hard time
Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. Are you and she near each other that you can offer her support? Sending hugs to you both.
Not physically close but I’m there for her.
