    This is a really cute idea.
    Just cut out a piece of quilted fabric or I used fleece because I had it....Add the poem and the little flocked bear.
    hugs,
    peg

    I'M YOUR BURDEN BEAR
    I'm not a very fancy bear.
    I'm plain and rather small.
    Even so, someone who likes you
    Said that I should come to call.
    Hide me underneath your pillow
    Or set me on a nearby shelf,
    And when you get discouraged
    I will do my best to help.
    I brought my favorite blanket
    That I snuggle when I'm sad.
    It's a present from my granny,
    Made for days when things seem bad.
    My granny always told me,
    "Life is like a patchwork quilt,
    just give Jesus all the pieces
    and he'll make a pretty quilt."
    Sometimes I don't see the pattern
    Sometimes He seems far away,
    then I clutch my favorite blanket
    And I pray...and pray...and pray
    Though I don't have all the answers
    (for I'm just a "Burden Bear")
    I've been sent here on a mission
    From someone who really cares.
    When you see me, please remember
    You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    Here is the finished picture of the one I made:
