Teresa,  bear_flower
That is so very generous of you!!  You know what would be fun?  I've thought about doing this with a really basic bear pattern of mine......is to challenge TT'ers to make up their version of your exact pattern and submit it here on TT!!  Now by exact I mean no enlarging or reducing but using the pattern "as is". 

When I taught a bear making class I was amazed that each bear turned out so different using the exact same pattern.  Peoples preference for mohair type or synthetic material, eyes size and nose size were all different.  It was the coolest thing!

Just and idea....I'm full of ideas!!

Warmest bear hugs,  :hug:

hey aleta!

that is so true about people doing all different things with the very same pattern! i have a booklet i had printed up of 5 of my patterns, and have had people e-mail me pictures of what they have done with it, and it so funny to see all the different variations.

i will look into that challenege...sounds awesome, i would LOVE to see what all of you would do!

That sounds like a great idea - and it looks like it is a fairly simple pattern, so if you do a challenge - count me in!  Now I have to figure out how to get the pattern on my computer - oh the challenges for the computer illiterate!

Can't beat the quill pen  :crackup:   Apologies to Quy.  He must really despair of me at times.

if you have adobe acrobat, it should just open in the browser window, and then all you have to do is print!  bear_grin

I've already drawn out the pattern and will cut it out this evening as I watch TV.  It's a lovely change of pace to work on someone else's pattern besides my own!!  This is fun!!  I can't wait to see how little mousie turns out!!

Warmest hugs,  :hug:

Wow, I managed to get it to print out - however it took forever, as adobe acrobat decided it wanted to upgrade right then and that took about an hour.
I don't think I will be as fast as Aleta, but I will try and work on it next week.
Thanks for sharing Teresa - this should be fun.
