I'm so excited to announce that my

from the printers and is now available:)

2016 Cozy Cottage Calendar

by Lori Holt of 

Bee in my Bonnet

Way back when the sample yardage of my 

Modern Minis

fabric collection arrived...

I thought it would be really fun to 

dive right in and make a mini.

I used the squares from the 3 color ways

and fussy cut them for

 some sections of the blocks...

I of course used all of the

 other prints in the collection as well:)

Using the pieces together 

and auditioning each block for 

different colors and texture 

is super fun!

I chose to make mini

Cozy Cottage Blocks:)

Super cute and tiny!

Each little cottage is a different combo of fabrics

and has it's own little personality!

They eventually turned into a mini quilt...

Which is now on the cover of my new

2016 Cozy Cottage Calendar

It's on the cover because 

the pattern is included inside...

along with step by step instructions:)

I love how the quilt turned out...

and it looks so cute in my family room:)

There's no place like a cozy home!

And of course you know that I am 

known for doing my blocks in two sizes...

So I made the larger block into 

Cozy Cottage Pillows!

Of course the pattern for my pillows...

Are included in my calendar as well:)

I love how the quilt and 

the pillows look together...

COZY!!!

I'm so proud of how my

 calendar turned out.

I couldn't have done it

 without my awesome publishers...

Fat Quarter Shop

This is the back of the calendar

 and shows you the photos 

from each month inside.

All photography took place

 inside my very own cozy cottage:)
