I have a new block for you this week, and it’s super simple to make, which I hope will serve as a nice break from more tedious curves and paper piecing! Stitch it up quick, post a photo on Instagram (#CookbookQuiltAlong), then get outside and take a walk (0r if you’re in the northeastern US, […]
The Cookbook Quilt Along: Block #7
Happy Monday, sweet friends! Did you have a good weekend? I hope so! This block is one of my absolute favorites in the whole book! There’s just something so playful about it. And the movement…buzzing up and down, back and forth, to & fro…I almost think it has a story to tell. Trails of fairy […]

August in the Sugar Block Club
This month I’ve been dreaming of a long overdue trip back to the state of my alma mater, and where my sweetie and I met and were married- the good ol’ land of lovers- Virginia. That lush, green moss that hangs from the trees along the roads…a barn over every hill…lightening bugs and no bake […]
My Lemonade Quilt Story

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!).

This month’s block is a fun twist on the old classic Maple Leaf. […]

Woeful WIPs
So, my quilt guild is doing a WIP commitment this month- I mustn’t start any new projects, and must strive to finish some existing ones. Good thing I’m the absolute queen of getting all hot ‘n bothered about a project, and then getting horribly distracted by something even more exciting and pushing it to the […]
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 […]
