The letter B sits alongside a round, contented bear. The colours supplied are warm rather than realistic, in tangerine and amber with salmon pink, so it reads as a storybook bear. Brown thread will give you a traditional teddy just as easily, and it is a design that takes a recolour well.
Bears are one of the safest choices in this set for gifts, since they suit boys and girls equally and carry through from a newborn quilt to a school bag without looking babyish. Pair it with a name in a simple font underneath.
The design is nearly square at around 77mm by 79mm and fits a 4 inch hoop easily. Seven colour stops and roughly 8,900 stitches, which is on the lighter side for this alphabet. A single layer of tearaway on a stable woven is enough.
