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 […]
Sugar Block Quilts & A Giveaway!
Heeeeello from the frigid Rocky Mountains! We wore tank tops to the park 2 days ago, but at the at the moment, it’s a toasty -8 fahrenheit here. Yup, just soaking in the rays…in front of a crackling fireplace, that is. So I figured it’s the perfect day for a little bit of quilty play, […]

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 […]
Knock, Knock…Anybody Home?
Hi, yes, I’m still here! It’s me, Amy! Remember? I usually blog here…about quilts, fabric, kids, high-calorie pancakes…that is, unless I’m detained by a special little something I like to call life. This week I’m a busy bee working on some super fun projects that I absolutely can’t wait to share with you. I mean, […]
Firefly Handmade & New Blocks
Spent the yesterday at the Firefly Handmade craft market in Boulder, just me n’ my girlie girls. It was aaaaaamazing. I’m so in awe. The theme was gypsy market, and it was nothing short of magical. It was in an old abandoned lumberyard, set up in a big circle like an encampment of traveling hip […]
Giveaway Winner & Sampler Catch Up
I know, I know, it’s Tuesday, and I promised to announce the beebolt fabric giveaway on Monday, but the day escaped me after an unexpected play date with our good friend, the emergency room. Yes, my little maid suffered a “nursemaid’s elbow” after a short-lived bout of swinging from mom & dad’s arms. Ped sent […]
Scrappy Disappearing 9-Patch Tutorial
Hi Friends! Since I snapped a few pics along the way of my improved disappearing nine patch quilt for my little girl, I thought I’d throw together a quick little tutorial for anyone interested in this super easy, versatile block. Oddly, even though I’ve been quilting off & on for around 15 years, for some […]
