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 […]
My Lemonade Quilt Story
I’ve been waiting seven months to share this story with you, and today I finally can! You see, today is “my” day in in the Splendid Sampler quilt along (hosted by two of my favorite quilting mavens- Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson- aka Quilt Jane) and there’s quite a tale behind my block. It’s the tale […]
June in the Sugar Block Club
It’s suuuuuummertime!!! (Well, at least in this hemisphere…I think my Aussie friends are in winter- ack!). I’m SO grateful for what June brings around here- afternoons at the pool, camping trips, my gorgeous snowball bush in bloom… And, of course, another Sugar Block! This month’s block is a fun twist on the old classic Maple Leaf. […]
Why My Heart Bleeds For Handmade
It’s that time of year again…the time where any innocent errand to the grocery store can unexpectedly turn into a serious yard-saling expedition because I can’t ever seem to resist those little neon arrows along the way. This springy weekend felt like the official start of yard sale season, and I won’t lie- I absolutely […]
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 […]
April in the Sugar Block Club
I thought about posting a sneaky trick today for April Fool’s….like that I’m pregnant or that I’ve decided to stop doing the Sugar Block Club (neither are true!)…but I’ll be honest- I don’t think I could deal with the reactions! Some weeks I can laugh at anything, and others I might cry if you tell […]
Trading Spaces
Have you ever just had a hankering to start moving furniture around for the fun of it? Mr. Dock and I got a little crazy this weekend and switched up three rooms! Half way through the semester and this is EXACTLY the refresh I needed. I’m thinking this a common situation for families, but in […]
10 Sewing Projects to Make with Kids
I reorganized my project gallery just recently (pure therapy for this order-craving soul), and as I sorted through photos, I was reminded of all the fabric goodies I’ve made with my sweet girls over the past couple of years. At this point, both my 5 and 7 year olds are pretty comfortable diving into hand or machine […]
March in the Sugar Block Club
Leaping into March today with a fresh new Sugar Block and quilt! Yay!!! Plus, I have an exciting first today…ah! It’s my very first YouTube video tutorial! I hope you’ll find it helpful! That’s right! We’re going Orange Peel style. I just adore these petal shapes, and I have a tendency to work them into my […]
