A Memory Bear for Jaxs

 This memory bear was made from my brother's jeans and pocket t-shirt which was his uniform of choice as a auto mechanic.  I used light brown fleece for the head, hands, and feet.  The bear pants were made from his jeans and the bear shirt made from his t-shirt.  The bear shirt has a small chest pocket with a red felt heart to symbolize his love for his grandson, Jaxs.  My brother also had a cat. 

The cat was made using an "in the hoop" embroidery file.  I also embroidered "PawPaw" on one foot and "Greg Pruitt 1964-2023" on the other foot.

Back of the bear has the Wrangler tag from the jeans and smaller versions of the belt loops.

Giving Back

The Ladies Ministry at my church (Lanett Nazarene Church)

put together gift bags for women who have miscarriages.

They were donated to our local hospital.

Some of the items included are a stuffed animal, a New Testament, and

a booklet of scripture, poems and prayers for mother.

Here is the group of ladies who helped deliver the gift bags.

These are miscarriage wrappers, which are made from

two 12 - 15 inch squares of flannel, with the edges serged together.

I made about 35 of these which were donated to my local hospital

along with the gift bags pictured above.
