This is a long time coming…one of those things that I meant to do back in like, July. And there were too many other things to do. Back in June (or May?) I received a very exciting thing in the mail–a copy of Love Patchwork & Quilting! It was super exciting because I was featured…

My Small Business
As I begin writing my 1001st post, (and since Thanksgiving is soon) I wanted to take a moment to talk a little about my business and how grateful I am for the success I have had. I started Honeybear Lane in 2009 as an Etsy shop. I was getting back to my creative roots after…
Shannon Fabrics Quilt-Along Contest!
Are you ready for a super fun contest? As you may know, I now have five different “puff” quilting patterns for sale and I’ve also been working with Shannon Fabrics this year. They so generously donated the fabric that I used for this new Twin+ Puff Quilt Pattern! Since Shannon Fabrics has come out with…
Twin Size+ Puff Quilt Pattern is Here!
Another long awaited pattern is here! I have been asked time and time again if I make puff quilts larger than baby size. My answer was and will always be ‘nope, sorry!’ I really don’t enjoy making large puff quilts because it is a lot of work. So there is your fair warning. But once…
The Last Three Puff Quilts
I have a brand new quilt pattern to share with you all this Friday but today I want to share with you the three last puff quilts that we’ve made. Yep, this is it. No more puff quilts…(sniff! sniff!) I’m sure that I will make more for my future babies/friends babies/grandkids/etc but right now this…

Secrets to Buying and Selecting Fabric
In my near-three years of blogging, the number 1 question I get asked is “Where do you get your fabric?!” People have told me many many times that I have an eye for colors and design and I choose excellent fabrics that go together. Here’s what I have to say to that—Thanks!! But also, I’m…
New Puff Quilt Pattern: ‘Puffy Island’
Presenting my newest puff quilt pattern! I call it Puffy Island because all the little puffs with the flat white sashing in between remind me of little desert islands in the ocean. This puff quilt is a mixture of puffs and traditional flat quilting–the best of both worlds! I chose a rainbow ombre scheme for…
Four New Puff Quilts
The flu is still rampant in my household and now my little 13-month-old has it. There’s really nothing sadder than a baby who is so sick…they don’t smile, they just cry and want loving and holding and have no energy or life in them. So that’s what I’ve been doing, the best I can with…
My Blog Story, Part 1
I’ve been blogging now for nearly three years. At the end of this month will be my 3-year Bloggiversary. Three years doesn’t really sound that long but it is SO weird to think back to those first few months of blogging. My blog has grown a lot in those three years. It’s by no means…
15 Best Projects of 2012
2012 has been a very, VERY weird year. Some things were great and some things you couldn’t pay me a trillion dollars to go through again. I’m actually glad to see it go because I feel like it was mostly a very difficult year. I have realistic expectations for 2013–I will accomplish some goals, I…
