Meet Dede.. aka The BearonesseHello! My name is Dede Colwell. I am the creator of Memory Bears by Dede. I have extensive experience in sewing and other hand skills including quilting, knitting, crocheting, embroidery and more. Through the years, I guess you could say that I am a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none! Along with crafts, I love my life in rural Upstate New York State. I enjoy hiking, photography, gardening and swimming. I am married and we have 2 grown children.
In a nutshell.. that's me! |
My Background |
As the grand-daughter of a tailor, my Mother began teaching me how to sew as a very young girl. As my skills improved, I quickly engrossed myself in making my own clothing and gifts for others.
I am actually a Registered Nurse by trade.. a "healer" and a "fixer". I love the creative process and take great pride in my attention to detail with each project that I work on. I know that each animal that I create brings a sense of peace and comfort to those who receive them. |
