I recently fell down the stairs (not so dramatically, but very inelegantly, to be sure) and sprained my knee. I hobbled into the office on crutches. Within the hour I was blessed with the presence of C&T’s Boo Boo Bear.

Boo Boo Bear was here when I started years ago. Boo Boo Bear is a pink chenille-flower covered teddy bear that travels around the office to those with injuries both physical and emotional. A purple paper heart is stuck to Boo Boo Bear to concentrate Boo Boo’s powers to the part that ails you — headache, heartache, knee ache…

What a great office, to have its own Boo Boo Bear. It reminds me of many of the titles of our books… Covered with Love, Curl-Up Quilts, A Cozy Quilted Christmas.

All aspects of quilting are reflected in our titles “Fabulous,” “Fearless,” “Creative,” “Whimsical,” “Stunning”… but there is something appealing about the warm and fuzzies today. Quilts (and, of course, Boo Boo Bears) are great ways to offer comfort.

If you’d like to share a little comfort of your own, check out Comfort Quilts from the Heart. Author Jake Finch has included many ways to make those around you feel a little more loved in difficult times. The projects are not just beautiful and comforting, many serve additional needs including a walker bag, a foot warmer on a quilt designed for use in a wheelchair, a lap quilt that doubles as a game board. Boo Boo Bear is cute, but he sure isn’t helping me with these crutches!
