Show & Tell - A Bailey Bear That's Out of This World!

When I posted the Moira's Peekaboo Cat quilt a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I love to see how you all adapt my patterns to make them your own. Well - here's an adaptation to beat all adaptations. :-) Cheryl (you may have seen her on the Facebook page as Adiarra Stormfury) turned Bailey Bear into Spock. SPOCK! How awesome is that?

I have a super geeky best friend who loves Star Trek and Mr. Spock.
So I changed up the pattern just a hair.  lololol.  I would point out that
using fleece on my machine was a tad overwhelming in size, so you
may notice the slightly awkward position of the arms lololol.  And I
moved the ears to the side of the head and made them pointy. The eyes nose & brows are felt that I stitched on, and the mouth is just stitched. But he really loved it, and despite his flaws, I do too!

Isn't he fun! And that's an excellent insignia on his shirt. But wait - there's more!

She also made this race car driver for her Dad.

Normal fire suits for race cars are just blue with the white stripe across the front, so that's what I fashioned it after. He and his father built dirt track cars here in Northern California when he was young, so his mid life crisis was building one of those old cars, which is what the sprint car world now calls retro, lol.

Sweet! Cheryl, I can't wait to see what you make next!

And that goes for all of you too! Please share your finished projects. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see how you all use my patterns! You can post a photo to the sewing or embroidery groups on Flickr, or simply email them to me. I do a little Snoopy dance every time I get one of these emails. :-)

Happy Thursday!

Best,
Wendi
