The Bumblebee Quilt

Bumblebee fabrics are due in stores this January and if you are looking for a spring project The Bumblebee Quilt pattern might be just the thing.
This pretty quilt uses gentle curves to make units that once joined together create a lovely hour-glass pattern waving serenely down the quilt.

The Bumblebee quilt is designed by Tone Finnanger. Explanations and step by step illustrations are made by the talented Linda Clements.

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a happy and creative new year 2017!

To get quilts and pillows ready for spring we need to get an early start so here is a look at the spring collection “Bumblebee” witch will be available this January.

Last summer we had a bumblebee nest just by the studio door, and although we sometimes had to run through the door to avoid bumblebees inside, it gave us a satisfying feeling.
There are not enough bumblebees in the world but we have a whole nest by our door.
Our bumblebee neighbors and reading The Bees by Laline Paull gave me the idea of a bee-inspired collection.

The Bumblebee collection is soft, sweet and full of flowers and beloved bees and bumblebees.
A happy colour palette reminds us of light and delightful spring days.

Have a bee-utiful day!
