It is Classic Pooh that she likes. From the original illustrations of the book. Not the Disney version.

she's into the a.a. milne clasic winnie, i am a huge collector of classic, especially antique. not at all associated w/ the ruined version by disney YUCK... every yr Joanne fabrics comes out w/ a new line of classic winnnie fabrics in the baby section, for winter they do flannels and spring broad cottons...i know i have seen quilt panels as well as pre-cut squares. if you make one please post pics, i'd love to see it! ~ liz

Here is a site of the classic Pooh pictures. Just click on each name to see each picture. Disney made Pooh look very different.

You can look up Classic Winnie the Pooh and find bedding and different things.

OK, I understand now. I was just at Joanne's and saw quite a bit of Pooh fabric, but I wasn't sure which it was.

Thanks all!

Classic:

You should think of making a Winnie the Pooh fabric book to go with the quilt. There are several Pooh books--you just buy a yard of the fabric and it includes easy instructions for assembly, batting, etc.

There's a"Pooh Bear" around here, somewhere.

I did see him in the flesh, once. Well - I didn't see his torso, 'cause he had a shirt on ... and it wasn't red!

(I'm pretty sure that he wasn't owned by Disney, either - though I didn't ask him).

We got into trouble here on KT after our meeting - cause we didn't take a picture, though there'd been a camera sitting right at hand.

Wow, you learn something new everyday.

Who knew there was more than one Pooh?

The Kitchen Table is a wealth of information.

Nan ar,

It's a poor day in which one doesn't learn sumthin'.

Some days' item of learning being of more consequence that that learned on some other days, of course!

I've seen different versions of Pooh, from the classic A.A. Milne books illustrations, to the modern Disney cartoons. I believe the original stuffed toys owned by the real Christopher Robin are now owned by the New York City Library. I've always meant to explore that! I live 50 miles from NYC.

Wanda, I saw a Pooh book kit sold in a plastic bag at JoAnnes, not panels on a bolt. I'd have to go back and see if its Classic or "modern." It looked easy enough to make. Maybe I'll check Joannes website.

I'm going to call my local quilting store to see if they have W the P fabrics.

Jannie, next time you head into the Big Apple, why not check out those toys? You could even take a picture or two to share with us KTers.

Thanks for all the inspiration everyone.

they originals are in NYC...wish i had my paws on those! ~ liz

I recall Sears adopting Winnie the Pooh as their big, signature toy in their stores about 35 to 40 years ago. They used what you are now calling the Disney Pooh, though Disney hadn't done a Winnie the Pooh story yet, as I recall.

I think of the original Pooh as looking like a Steiff (sp?) bear.

We bought one of Sears' little Winnie the Pooh bears for our toddler, who had never heard of him as she was too young for the books and there were no Winnie the Pooh cartoons or toys or baby books then. She did not like the name he had and insisted his name was "Plenty of Poop."
