Welcome Little Bear Fans!
Little Bear is showing his sweet tooth with this months' theme block!
Each month the Quilt Block Mania participating designers share a block pattern inspired by the month's theme. The pattern is free for the month. I'll be designing and giving away a block each month reflecting the Quilt Block Mania monthly theme, however, my block designs will also follow my Year of Bears theme. Collect all the blocks and make a quilt at the end of the year. If you missed any of the previous blocks, you can read about them on the blog HERE and visit my online shop to purchase.

The QBM theme for October is "Sweets".
Yum! A giant lollipop won't stop Little Bear from getting a lick. A stepping stool is all that's need to get to this sweet treat!
Lollipop Bear is the free 12" block pattern I'm giving this month. Details on how to get your free block pattern is at the bottom of this post. You will also find the links to all the other QBM participating designers. This block pattern will only be free to download for the month of October. After that time, you'll be able to purchase the pattern in my online shop.
**NOTE** This promotion has ended but the Lollipop Bear PDF block pattern is available for purchase in my online shop.

I love his chubby tummy hanging out from under his shirt.
- The tongue is a full patch on top with the embroidered or inked mouth close to the top edge. This gives the illusion the tongue is coming out of the mouth.
- Consider using variegated thread on the lollipop for a rainbow look.
Bonus Block
Are you a baseball fan? I like baseball, but watching my grandkids play is my favorite! This block was designed with them in mind. Little Bear is ready for a big hit. I'm rooting for him to hit it out of the park! Hey batter, batter, swing!
Stitching this one was so much fun! If the baseball doesn't show up well against your background, embroider a darker color tightly around the ball. In my block, I used a dark grey. It really helped to make the ball pop.
