The latest batch of Memory Bears were completed on Saturday - and I used the leftover fabric to make a patchwork cushion for another member of the family.
These safety eyes came from Hobbycraft. I liked the blue colour - but found them a lot harder to fix than the brown ones I'd found in The Range and Fabricland last year!
Each bear has a little khaki backpack, and I also used that fabric for the edges of the cushion. I realise that almost all the shirts I've been given for bears thus far have been in shades of blue - the khaki shirt was quite unexpected!

Those memory bears are sure to be appreciated by the family, Angela. The patchwork cushion is another good idea!
