Great gift idea: Memory bears
Running this again because I just realized I forgot to put Holly's link Duh.
I'm really intrigued by this idea: Holly at Seeking Faithfulness can take a piece of fabric which holds special memories for someone and make a bear out of it. What a great gift idea - Mother's Day or Father's Day, anyone?On my way to look around my house. . . .
Order at Seeking Faithfulness.
Huggable Memories
HUGGABLE MEMORY BEARS
Perhaps you have a shirt of your Grandma’s or Grandpa’s? It is a wonderful, tangible way to connect your children with those who are far away or who have passed on from this life. It is a huggable memory.
Perhaps you have a special baby blanket that would make a soft bear. Your imagination provides the fabric for the bear. If you send it to me, I will turn your memory into something that you can hold.
Memory Bears sell for $18, plus shipping.
She's also making bears of fabric she's recycled - and picturing them to sell as she makes them.
But I'm thinking maybe the white wool suit I wore when Tripp and I got married. Or maybe his mom's wedding dress made into bears for her granddaughters who miss her so but will never wear the dress themselves......
Any other ideas?

Thank you for this idea--I'm thinking that this might be a perfect idea as my friends and I are watching our babies grow but still want to keep something of their special blankets or outfits.

I love this idea! I had always thought of using old shirts to make into quilt squares, but never bears! awesome!
