Can you believe January is almost over?? We’ll be diving into another fun Sugar Block in just a few days! I thought I’d celebrate wrapping up our first month of 2016 SBC fun with a GIVEAWAY! Not one, but two fabulous goodies up for grabs this week! Giveaway Prize #1: How about some gorgeous fabric?? […]
Tackle Those Curves (and a giveaway!)
Is it just me, or can sewing curves be completely intimidating? I’ll never forget my first attempt…holding the cut fabric pieces in my hands and saying, “These fit together exactly how?!? And it’s supposed to lay flat?!?” Ah! It can really be so intimidating that many quilters don’t even attempt it, and skip over designs […]
A Gamechanger & A Giveaway!
Hi Friends! First off, I have to THANK YOU for all of the sweet comments you left on my last post! I don’t know why I ever feel hesitation to keep it real on the blog when I’m feeling down or frustrated…I absolutely shouldn’t, because inevitably everyone understands and is encouraged to see reality that […]
On My Bookshelf: Imagine Quilts
A month of quilty goodness continues here on my blog, where I’m spotlighting some of the awesome new quilt books coming out right now. Today I want to highlight a book called Imagine Quilts, by my good friend, Dana Bolyard. Let’s take a look at a few of the fabulous quilts in this book, and […]
On My Bookshelf: Fat Quarter Style
Hi Friends! I’m writing today to launch a series of posts I have in store for this upcoming month, and they’re all about BOOKS! That’s right- it’s book season in quilty land, and there are some really excellent ones coming out. I’ll be dedicating several posts in August and September to a few of my […]
April Beyond The Block & A Giveaway
This month’s personal challenge has really been on my heart recently, and now that it’s in the forefront of my mind, I’m seeing it everywhere and it’s driving me CRAZY. Perhaps you’re feeling the same way. For so many of us, the internet holds a vast amount of our daily attention. We work online, pay […]
April Means Flowers
Did ya’ll have a great Easter?! It’s spring, and the flowers are in bloom! Well, at least online they are. I’m so happy to welcome Little Pink Rose quilting and sewing shop to my blog this week- they are a new, small but growing online quilting and sewing shop out of Virginia. I get so much joy […]
3X for Emphasis
I love that my husband will see this post in his email (yes, he subscribes!), and know that the title is for him. It’s a sweet little inside joke between us…years ago, before we were married and while he was stationed overseas with the Army, we’d write letters and tell each other “I love love […]
Rainbow Bundles Available!
Hi All! Those of you who’ve signed up for next year’s Sugar Block Club may have seen the colorful FreeSpirit solids bundle I’ll be using to make my blocks, and many have asked where they can get one- either for this project or another. I know- isn’t it yummy?! Unfortunately, I purchased this about a […]
It’s Giveaway Day!
Yes, yes, it’s Giveaway Day hosted by Sew Mama Sew, and this mama’s hopping on board! Somehow I’ve always seemed to miss this fun event in years past…probably because half of the time I’m so completely maxed out at trying to remember which day of the week it is, that I forget 70% of awesome […]
