The Mer Bear story.....

I have been hand sewing my bears since 1999. I've always loved to do needle work such as crochet, knit and general sewing but once I made my first bear - I never looked back.

I mainly work with Schulte mohair imported from Germany, although I also enjoy making mini bears from Sassy fabrics. My patterns are all original and I usually change each one somewhat since I don't like to repeat my work due to a low boredom threshold.
My home is smoke free although not pet free. I have two Boston Terriors, cats and a cockatiel.

We live on a small farm and keep a few cows, chickens, rabbits and pigs. I work full-time as a legal assistant and enjoy sewing in the evenings.
