Quilt MOB (Month of the Block): Part One

Did you know that July is International Quilt Block Month? Actually, it isn’t.  But it should be, dontcha think?  Internet- make it happen! Seriously though, let’s talk about quilt blocks.  We collect them, we swap them, we join clubs and classes to make them.  We tape them to our walls, stack them on our shelves, […]

July in the Sugar Block Club

Holy hot dogs!  It’s July 4th weekend already!  3 day weekends…they’re like manna from heaven.  A whole extra day to camp, grill, splash, clean out our garage (goodie), and set off not set off firecrackers because they’re illegal in our city.  Hehe.  And I suppose sew, for those of you who are keeping busy with […]

May in the Sugar Block Club

It’s May….but you’d never know it here in Colorado, where the falling snow looks like a Norman Rockwell Christmas painting!  I know…what in the world.  I’m here with another Sugar Block for you, and I didn’t even realize that it looked so wintery until this very moment.  I must be in sync with the weather […]

New Blocks On The Block

Got up early this morning to attack a pile of swap blocks that’s been sitting on my sewing table for weeks now, begging to be trimmed, pressed, and photographed- some will go into quilts of mine, and others need to hop into a bubble mailer and go to swap partners. First up- a spiderweb block […]
