I was asked by an elderly (male) friend if I could make something for his great niece for Christmas. I asked him how old she is and what she likes and all he could tell me was "about 3"! So I decided a fat pink bear might fit the bill. I've been doodling with this shape for a while, trying different ways of getting the nose to be more 3 dimensional.

She'll be tickled pink and the nose is perfection!

He is so gorgeous. Even a picky 13 yr old would love him.

That's lovely with such a sweet smile, Jo

Super cute!

I just love the stuffed bears and soft toys. She is a good looking little bear.

Oh Sue Mollie is just georgous will this design be able to be purchased...soozie

You are amazing! Wonderful job!

he does look great, kids love bright colours. Is he about 9 or 10 inches high, with just one hooping? And another for the ears?

This bear is about 8 inches high. The ears are not made separately. The nose section is made first then appliqued as part of the main design.

thanks

I love it and I'm a bit older than three. Like your words stitched on, as well.

I love it Sue---don't know how you succeeded in getting dimension in flat embroidery but boy did it ever work. Little Mollie will love it.

Love it!

Well Done. Just love it Sue.

You have hit the jackpot with this design, it is super , and you have done a wonderful job with it. I think he will be happy, and his niece will be over the moon to have such a terrific gift. Sandra.

Once again, your talent shines through! i am sure Mollie will be tickled "pink" with her adorable bear.

No challenge is too great for you -an excellent solution, as always!

The little girl will love it and what a gorgeous shade of pink! Love ❤️ Chris
