10 blocks down…just 2 to go! I just LOVE the juicy, fun, eclectic mix that is this year’s Sugar Block Club! And this year I totally tried to put the kibosh on my tendency to want to go “matchy” and just went for a nice big variety of styles. Loving it! So playful! This month’s […]
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 […]
June in the Sugar Block Club
It’s suuuuuummertime!!! (Well, at least in this hemisphere…I think my Aussie friends are in winter- ack!).

Some weeks I can laugh at anything, and others I might cry if you tell […]

So I’m in the middle of piecing a really fun quilt right now…a yummy rainbow of colors, and a ZILLION flying geese units! I’m so excited about how this happy quilt is going to turn out…if I can ever finish it. The inspiration came from fat stack of charm squares I acquired in a rainbow […]
