“I’ve always been into some kind of artwork,” she says. Southerland says she has had a love of sewing since she started drafting patterns in the eighth grade. Working from her home studio in White County, Southerland makes memorial teddy bears from the clothes of those who have died as a way for their families to keep a piece of the departed close by. Local artist Laura Southerland is using her talents for a similar keepsake to help others who have lost loved ones. As children, some people have memories of finding comfort in a teddy bear.
