The Completed Blue and White Teddies

This is the set of 6 teddies which I was given to paint in the Blue and White series for quiltmaking. They are so adorable looking and really cute to boot. Wish I had these when I was a kid.
The fabric was 100% cotton , so it was a breeze to do these. I'm now quite adept at painting on fabric and the best part of it is it gently nudges memories of my childhood during the 1960s and 70's. Often, I'd stop after each session, peek into one of the yellowed and dog-eared Enid Blyton's books lying about ( yes, I still have them ) and read 1 or 2 of the adventures, one of which was - The Tower of Ho-Ho Wood which was about Mary Ann and Mary Jane and the other was The Enchanted Gloves - about 2 brownies, Ho Ho and Higgledy and the nasty wizard Long Beard...................
Don't we all need a break .......and time to chill off..................?

Talking of "peeking into one of the yellowed and dog-eared Enid Blyton's books lying about," I am glad to inform you that I have published a book on Enid Blyton, titled, The Famous Five: A Personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com).
