- Hi there. I'd like to know if there are any mail order sources for
- high-quality stuffed animals or stuffed animal patterns.
-
- My wife and I collect stuffed animals, you see, and her birthday is
- coming up and I'd like to obtain something fairly unique. We've
- already combed through the local toy and department stores, and we've
- got a veritable zoo of interesting animals. Unfortunately local
- sources have begun to run low... I'm fairly handy with a sewing
- machine, so if there are any sources for unique stuffed animal
- patterns, I'd like to know about them as well.
-
- Anyway, if you'd be kind enough to send an address to me for any mail
- order place you know of, I would greatly appreciate it. In addition, I
- would be happy to summarize all responses into a list and post it to
- all the craft/sewing related groups. If you have any opinions about
- service, quality, turnaround time, or cost effectiveness, I would
- appreciate those as well and I will happily include them in the
- summary.
-
- [ As a side note, here's a list of all the stuffed animals we've found so far:
-
- Lots of bears
- 2 owls
- 1 vulture
- 4 whales (1 great and 3 porpoise-related)
- 3 dolphins
- 2 dragons
- 1 snake
- 4 pinnipeds (sea lion, 2 seals, walrus)
- 2 dragons
- 1 buffalo
- 2 elephants
- 2 dogs
- 1 raccoon
- 1 panda
- 1 turtle
- 1 pig
- 1 shark
- 1 penguin
- 3 poisonous tree frogs (!) ]
-
- Thanks for your time!
