Welcome to my Teddy Patch Store.
I am Terrie Kalaputas and I started making bears and dolls for my children when they were small. After they outgrew playing with then, I started making collectibles.
In 2004, I made my first miniature bear and was instantly addicted to minis and the challenges that they present. I enjoy all aspects of bear making from the first tiny stitch to the creation of a new personality. Currently, I am making more minis than large bears.
My bears have been featured in the magazines Teddy Bear & Friends and Teddy Bear Review. I was thrilled and honored to have one of my bears "Snazzy" chosen as a 2007 TOBY Industry Choice Award winner and Jory a 2007 URSA finalist.
Terrie Bears have been adopted to homes all over the world.
I feel very blessed to be able to pursue my love of creating artist bears and dolls and I am delighted when they go to homes where they are loved.
