Auction Donation: Operation 'Patchwork' Bear

A friend of mine made an open post on her facebook, calling upon her 'crafty friends' for possible donations for a benefit auction for a little girl here from where I live. She has been diagnosed with leukemia, and medical bills are inevitable in these situations. She has had a lot of people having fund raisers, selling bows, and the community has pulled together so much to help the family.

I wanted to donate a piece, but I wasn't sure what. I asked my husband what he thought. Bears are one thing I really love to make, so he suggested a patch-work bear. I ended up coming up with a variations, but not so much patch work as a little odds-and-ends bear, stitched together to make a colorful, happy friend.

Emma's favorite Disney character has become her 'mascot,' so that gave me the idea to make the little bear holding a Minnie Mouse. Emma Bear is one of a kind, I will never make another exactly like her because of her being a donation. I will make similar, but there will never be another like her. She is honestly one of my favorite bears so far that I have made.

**EDIT: I will make more bears like these for orders... but part of the money I make will always go to Emma. I'll make a small profit and the rest will go straight back into materials.**

The benefit auction for Emma Walker will be held Saturday, November 15th at the Bridgestone Union Hall in McMinnville, TN at 5PM.
