I’m absolutely delighted to welcome you to my stop on the Poppie Cotton Rosy Cheeks Fabric Tour! Thank you so much for dropping by—it's always a treat to connect with you.
Today, I’m thrilled to share the special pieces I created using the brand-new Rosy Cheeks Collection by Lori Woods for Poppie Cotton. The moment I laid eyes on these cheerful prints, I couldn’t wait to put on my quilt designer hat and dive in!
About the Collection
This darling collection—shipping to quilt shops this month—is bursting with charm. You’ll find sweet motifs like strawberries, chickens, flower bouquets, bows, teacups, roses, bunnies, and polka dots—all wrapped in a delightful palette of pinks, reds, blues, yellows, greens, and white. It’s sunshine and happiness in fabric form, and I had the best time bringing these prints to life!
✨ Project 1: Mini-Medi Tote Bag
First up is my Mini-Medi Tote Bag, a favorite pattern of
my own design and the perfect everyday carryall. It measures 12.5” W x 12” H x 3" D
(plus handles with a 5.5" drop) and features:
- Two rounded exterior pockets
- Two large interior pockets
- Roomy design made from just one charm pack and one yard of fabric
This pattern is ideal for showcasing small motifs and intricate details, and the Country Confetti Cotton Candy Dark Pink lining and handles add the perfect pop of color. The instructions are thorough and beginner-friendly, making it a great project for all skill levels.

✨ Project 2: Coordinating Project Bags
Of course, my tote needed some matching project bags (no patterns for these - just playing around in my studio)! I
created two:
- Large Bag: 11-5/8” x 9-7/8” with a wool appliqué strawberry
- Small Bag: 7-3/4” x 7-7/8” with a wool appliqué teacup
Both bags are patchwork-style, showing off the adorable prints, and feature solid-colored zipper pulls. I used my favorite Wool Blend Felt from Benzie Design and added a sweet ¼” button to each blossom for a charming finishing touch.
✨ Project 3: “Bon Jour” Zippered Pouches
Last but not least, I stitched up three small zippered pouches using the sweetest “Bon Jour” prints (again, no patterns, just my creativity). Each pouch:
- Features a different colorway
- Is paired with Country Confetti basics
- Includes hand-dyed rick rack from Lady Dot Creates
- Has rounded bottoms and colorful zipper pulls for extra flair
These little pouches are perfect for gifting or organizing your sewing notions.

My day on that fabric tour is Thursday, August 14th, so mark your calendars. Plus, I’ll be sharing two brand-new project tutorials on the Therm O Web Blog and the Benzie Design Blog on Monday, July 21st—think Christmas in July! 🎄

Until then, happy stitching!
