Today we meet the most chilled out bear of the Beary Colourful family. Please welcome the blue-green Teal Bear of Taking Time Out!
Teal Bear is ready for a holiday. Or a weekend of leisure. Or even just a few hours of unbooked time. He loves taking time out of his busy schedule to smell the roses or shoot the breeze. Today he is in the mood to head down the beach without any particular plan….. build a sand castle, collect some shells, have a paddle, or maybe just get some sand between his toes. Uncomplicated time with a few friends or family, or even some relaxed alone time.
Please welcome the very refreshing Novem-Bear of Taking Time Out to the Beary Colourful family. His blue-green colours are of the revitalising and invigorating powers of water and recreation. Beaches, lakes, rivers – they all have a powerful attraction for people needing some time away from it all.
The eleventh bear in the Beary Colourful Quilt BOM series is adamant that you need to take a breather occasionally. Add this relaxed bear to your collection as an encouragement to find some restoration time.

And I ear that someone wasn’t concentrating hard enough when they were cutting out November’s test bears…. and now has two spare sets of bear parts to give away in a couple of weeks time…..

The Island Batik Ambassador theme for October is paper piecing…. foundation piecing, freezer paper piecing or English paper piecing….. our choice. Generally, I would say that I enjoy the former two much more than the latter. But…..
