Very Old Winnie the Pooh Baby Quilt / Blanket from Mothercare - does anyone still have one?

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately my car was broken into last weekend, and the thief took the bag that contained my son's beloved blanket. It's an old Mothercare one from 1996/1997, obviously no longer around. Here's a photo.
Long shot but does anyone happen to have one lying around (in any condition) that they would be willing to sell? Or know someone who does?
Any help would mean the world.

@MrsCarson, just want to say a huge THANK YOU!

Yes, it was that one, and if it weren't for you finding it so quickly, I would never have found it.

Honestly didn't expect anyone to reply my post, let alone find the exact item I needed. Such a joy to have wonderful human beings like you on Mumsnet!

You're an angel, may God bless you!

OP, worth having a look around/ posting on local Facebook groups/ putting up posters. You might find the thieves have dumped the bag someone where, and might get it back (and what an eBay find otherwise!)

Thank you! Yes, searched the whole surrounding area by foot and put up posters but unfortunately no luck. Possibly they dumped it in a bin and it's already in landfill somewhere far away. 🙁

The incredible find by MrsCarson was a godsend! What a wonderful community, so glad I posted on here!

I'm sorry, I don't have the blanket, but I wonder if you could find a local seamstress who could mend it for you or stitch it to something to reinforce it?

BTW, I clicked on this thread thinking it was familiar and realised I clicked on it back in July when it was posted as well, because I still do have my baby blanket from the late 80s from Mothercare. However, having looked up a photo of it, I have realised it is Jemima Puddle Duck, not Winnie the Pooh.

(And yes, I'm aware this is not safe sleep before the baby sleep police jump on the photo - this baby is now 3yo and perfectly safe. I probably took the toys and pillows out of the cot after snapping the picture. I expect I took the photo in surprise that he had let me put him down!)

Trying to find the same thing! Did you ever find another one/ do you still have the one you bought off eBay I could buy? Thank you
