"Although nothing, not even time, can heal the pain of losing a cherished family member or friend, Memory Bears do provide a sense of comfort to those grieving. Hospice isn’t about giving up hope — it’s about finding hope and creating lasting memories."
This my journey about making these bears as volunteer for Sharp HospiceCare.

10/10: Mae Bear #1
Shortly after I finished the bear for Linda last year, a friend sent me a blouse and slacks that her mother had worn and asked if I could make a bear for her sister as a Christmas present. This bear went together fairly easily. The fabric carried a lovely scent with it and it only made me sneeze in the very beginning
I used the slacks to make the body of the bear, the undersides of the arm and the backs of the ears. I used the sleeves and the bottom edges of the blouse to make the rest of the bear, and then used the color and front of the blouse to "dress" her. I made a pocket from the lower front placket and kept the buttons on it. You can see that on the back
