Oh Bruce, you really are my favourite bear.

Bruce is an accountant. He loves to crunch the numbers - almost as much as he loves to crunch the honeycomb. His best friends are the bees - they all hang out together on Wednesday nights, having spelling competitions. There’s only a few of his bee mates on this bag, but there’s a whole swarm in real life. Bruce is a very lucky bear because his Aunty Tula knitted him a beautiful sweater, that he wears on special occasions. What better bag for Bruce and his bees than a briefcase - oops, I mean a BruceCase? Or maybe it’s really a messenger bag, but beggars can’t be choosers.

This bear and bag were both designed for the Big Woods Block of the Month that I designed for FreeSpirit, using Tula Pink’s fabrics. The beehive and branch on the back of the bag were designed by Tula herself - she wanted a hive on her version of the quilt, and then kindly shared her drawing with me so that I could make the appliqué templates for the BOM participants. It is used here in the pattern with her permission.

Finished size: 11 1/2” x 16”
