Bullas Bears BOM (block of the month) Quilt

I am pleased to share the Bullas Bears BOM Quilt with you today. This quilt is a fabric adaptation from the artwork of an internationally famous watercolorist, Will Bullas. I fell in love with his work many years ago and have cross stitch and needlepoint patterns featuring his designs. I can now add quilts to the list.

Don't you just love these bears? They each have their own personalities and of course Will has  wonderful titles for each square!

The Quilt Pattern Magazine will be offering this BOM starting in February and running through November. By next Christmas you will have a wonderful holiday quilt. I will also be hosting a workshop on The Quilt Pattern Magazine's social network - Pattern Pastiche. You can join me there to chat or ask questions or share the pictures of your bears!

Bali Hand-dyed Watercolors  - Style #1895 from Hoffman Fabrics were used in this quilt as they were just "purrfect" for these bears and  Batiks Plus will be offering the Fabric Kits.

Kreinik Threads is offering a thread kit featuring the speciality threads used with this quilt.

This pattern will only be available through The Quilt Pattern Magazine so be sure and SUBSCRIBE today. You won't want to miss the fun you will have with the Bullas Bears!

These bears are so great and they each have a personality all their own. You will have so much fun making this quilt. The pattern tester loved it!
