Customer Reviews
The bear arrived nicely packed. I was so impressed at the professional and thoughtful crafting of the bear. We used a sweater that my mom wore frequently. I gifted it to my sister as she was having a particularly difficult time after loosing our mom. She was thrilled to receive such a thoughtful and lovely gift.
The bear came and it was just awesome. I love the way all these colors came together. The gift will be one my great nephew can treasure forever.
I absolutely love these beautifully crafted, high quality bears. I am planning to gift these to my family as loving reminders of my Dad. The talented team members at Patchwork Bear are truly angels that bring joy to so many.
Thank You So Very Much ❤️
These bears are a beautiful reminder for my sons of their grandfather. He passed away suddenly last year and I wanted my boys to have something of his to remember him by. 🩵 Thank you to The Patchwork Bear for the sweet keepsakes.
