I'm so grateful for all your kind and lovely remarks.  And I know this sounds cliche, but I would give every single one of you a copy of my book if I could.  Truly I would.

Ok.  I hope you're ready for lots of pictures today because I have two new patterns to show you!  I hope you like them.

I'll start with the Honey Bee Quilt.

I loved my very first pattern - the Honey Bee Bag - so much (as did so many of you),

I decided to do a quilt version of it!

When I was putting it together - in my very favorite PARIS FLEA MARKET fabric by Moda - I couldn't decide if the hexagons should be stacked or staggered  ...

Or if the sides of the quilt should be straight or angled  ...

Or if there should be a little mosaic border or not ...

so to avoid having to make any of those decisions, this pattern includes all of the above!

I also borrowed this little guy from the Honey Bee Bag ...

and turned him into an appliqued/embroidered detail for this quilt.  Make one honey bee,

a few,

a hive,

or none at all ... whatever you like.

And as with so many great quilt designs out there, this one can be made larger or smaller very easily by adding or subtracting rows and columns.

(Can you tell I dove head first into my pink scrap bin for this quilt?)

My other new pattern is the Tree & Bunny Pouch. 

This is such a cute little project (according to all my friends who have seen it) ... (ok, and according to me too) that combines patchwork & embroidery to make a very useful zippered pouch.

I love it ... the tree all laden with fragrant springtime blossoms and the sweet little bunny munching quietly under the sheltering boughs.

I taught this pouch as a class at a local quilt shop last month. 

It was so popular a second class was offered ... and sold out too! 

If you're not into embroidery or very small patchwork ('cause I get that not everyone is) but you'd like to make this handy zippered pouch that can be used for almost anything, you can easily substitute either - or both - sides of the pouch with just a single pretty fabric. 

A few of my students did just that with beautiful results.

Both patterns include LOTS of photos and VERY detailed instructions. 

You can find them in my shop as PDFs and PAPER versions.

Happy Monday!

I love the quilts and the pouch. Will definitely make both. And I also love Paris Flee Market. Perfect for the quilt. By the way, your purse is one of my favorites. I am addicted to your blog. Always the first blog I check to see what is new. I'm starting to wish I lived in Canada and your next door neighbor. You are a fun kid!
