Bear Throw/Blanket
Bear Throw/Blanket
Just got back from BC where I shot a couple of bears. Don't really need another rug much less two.
Thinking of getting at least one turned into a throw. Anyone ever done that? Any suggestions as to who could do it?

Mary Hilliard-KruegerHello Steve,
I have been making quilts, throws, pillows, etc. along with rugs for the past 20 years for the taxidermy industry and private clientele. Maybe you could do a throw with one and pillows with the other. PM me if you have any questions. Think I helped you with some lion claws a while back.
Elk bedspread (4 hides) done recently.
Kind regards,
Mary

Aspen Hill AdventuresMary, that looks beautiful. I have dreamed of having something done like that if I ever get to hunt musk ox.

L. David KeithAnytime I've pulled any animal skin or rug over me, I was too hot in quick order. Maybe if I lived in the Great White North in an igloo? Beautiful blanket Mary.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Mary,
Thanks! I was hoping that you'd have a suggestion. Those look pretty nice. I'll be e-mailing you soon.

P.S. Yes that was me with the Mt. Lion claw.

Aspen Hill AdventuresDavid! These fur throws are meant to be removed at sleep time. I know I would and I sleep with my windows open all winter too.

Mary Hilliard-KruegerAnn,
You beat me to that response! I also, always have my house much colder than most during the winter with windows open. (Ok , I know I live in Arizona, but it gets cold here too!)
David,
We had a full buffalo robe as a bed cover for years and always took it off before retiring as do all my clients I make bedspreads for. From time to time in the winter I would sleep under that buffalo robe and it was cozy warm!
Thanks all for your kind words.
Regards,
Mary
