As I sit to write these words, a stack of Christmas cards awaits being stuffed into envelopes that still need stamps and addresses, an ever-growing shopping list stares at me from the bulletin board, and boxes half filled with decorations sit strewn about my living room. The calendar on my refrigerator looks like a battlefield, […]
November in the Sugar Block Club
Ah! Where did October go?? I survived Quilt Market last weekend, and was planning to post a fun photo recap on Tuesday…that is until I realized it would literally take me the entire week to recover! No blogging happens while mom is catching up on sleep and attempting to rescue the house from 4 days […]
October Beyond The Block
Another month, another block, and another Beyond the Block personal challenge, you guys! I don’t know about you, but for our family, October can get ridiculously busy. We have school and church activities in full swing, sports, family events, work deadlines, and Quilt Market just around the corner…so much going on! So much, that the […]
September Beyond the Block: BE…An Encourager
As I’ve said before, this series is a bit of a glimpse into the journey that I’m on- hopefully it may speak to your heart in some way wherever you are. I’m always such a work in progress (and always will be), and it’s so interesting to me to see the ways that God teaches […]

July Beyond the Block
Hi All! Ahhhh, it’s July! So busy this month, but how thankful I am for this Beyond the Block series! I think the big man upstairs knew just the ticket for keeping me grounded this year, amidst all my big projects and hectic family schedule, I’m pulled back each month to slow down, ponder, and […]
Mr. Dock Guest Posts: Beyond The Block
Mr. Dock here! Yes! I’m back! Amy released a new Sugar Block pattern this morning, and I’ve been officially promoted to part-time help—newly entrusted with a Beyond the Block post! I had to do a lot of kissing up to the boss, but it finally happened! And to tell the truth it wasn’t really unpleasant at […]
April Beyond The Block & A Giveaway
This month’s personal challenge has really been on my heart recently, and now that it’s in the forefront of my mind, I’m seeing it everywhere and it’s driving me CRAZY. Perhaps you’re feeling the same way. For so many of us, the internet holds a vast amount of our daily attention. We work online, pay […]
Beyond the Block this Month
I don’t know where January and February went. I really don’t. If you see them, can you tell them I need those weeks back? This year is absolutely flying by. Between my two little sick buddies (we’re finally over our double dose of bronchiolitis and ear infections!), and a super secret quilty projects, I’m pretty […]
February Beyond The Block
It’s another month in The Sugar Block Club, and throughout the year, we’re stitching up pretty vintage blocks, cooking up tasty treats, and taking some time to go “beyond the block” to explore some ways in which we can challenge ourselves in a personal way. As I sat down to ponder the monthly personal challenges […]
