Tree Hugger is made from mint, raspberry, coral, mango and scarlet Shannon cuddle 3 minky using my own pattern. Her embroidery designs were digitized by me and stitched using my bernina 560 and Sulky/Isocord thread. She has plastic poly pellets in her hooves, and is stuffed with poly-fiber fill. She stands at 16 (at the top of her head) inches tall and is squishy enough to be cuddled. She is mostly machine sewn, but she also has many hand sewn pieces stitched on using thick carpet thread.
Although the thread I use is strong, she is not intended for children.
