We’re on a real sugar high over here in Dock land!
Celebrated a few birthdays last night at the best kind of crazy family party. Cake? Check. Pinata? Check. Late summer backyard shenanigans? Check.
I’ve got some sweet new patterns out as well! First, a baby quilt called “Charmed” that’s just right for 2 charm packs. There are kits available over at Craftsy right now, but I’ll also be offering this pattern by itself in my own shop soon.
Craftsy also released my fun little reversible skirt pattern not too long ago, and was hoping to post a link to these kits as well, but they sold out before I even got a chance to! Eek! No worries- if you’re interested in this pattern, I’ll be offering it in my shop at some point in the future as well, so stay tuned.
The size and length are totally customizable, so we went with the long-ish swishy length that my big girl requested. :) She wore it to kindergarten this week (with a pink tie-dyed t-shirt, no less), and the word on the street is it was an eye catcher!
And I can’t forget our monthly sweet- of the Sugar Block variety! This month we’re stitching up a fun take on the classic granny square type block that has grown so popular in the modern quilt community. I was playing around with having some of the side-by-side squares in the same color (as usually I would do this block in color “layers” like a real crocheted granny square)…the first thing Mr. Dock said was “Looks like a propeller.” Hmm. I suppose it does. Airplanes + a dash of the the classiest classic of all time, Frank Sinatra, and I think we’ve got a block- “Come Fly With Me.”
September: Come Fly With Me
And of course a Sugar Block isn’t a Sugar Block without a sweet treat by it’s side. Cookies made from devils food cake mix? Yes please!
Ahhh! And it’s only the 1st! This month is off to a great start. Wishing you a sweet one as well, my friends.

Congratulations with the birthday of your boys! Your daughter looks great in het skirt! Love the patterns.
A year has gone by so fast! I remember your posts from the hospital where you had set up your sewing machine to pass the time productively. Happy Birthday to the boys!
No way! Are the twins really a year old? That can’t be! This year has flown by too fast, but I’m so happy for you and your family. Happy Birthday, baby boys!
Wow! A year old already??? My how that time has flown! Happy birthday boys! xx
Sounds like a busy month to me. Happy Birthday to the Samuel and Sawyer. Nora is growing up so fast. Love your patterns and am going to have to try those cookies soon. Have a great month.
Happy Birthday Samuel and Sawyer! Wow, one already! Nora looks beautiful in her skirt. Thank you for sharing your family and your many talents with us.

Like everyone else, I’m surprised the one year mark has rolled around already! Happy first birthday to the wee Dockmen! Nora rocks the skirt totally. So you made it! And you’ve accomplished so much this past year. I don’t think you broke your stride at all. WAY impressive. Happy end of summer and into the Fall!
Ye gads that year has flown, Happy Birthday to your wee lads. You all have had a monumentally busy year. Time to relax a bit and enjoy it all this year :O)
your September is starting out as a beautiful month. Congrats on the twins birthday and the lovely patterns.
Happy Happy September!
Love the cake. As an aside, I am having difficulty logging onto the SugarBlock of the Month and didn’t receive the email for September’s block. Help!
Hi Patricia! Sorry to hear you are having trouble! I checked your account and it shows that the email was successfully delivered to your address on Sunday morning, but hasn’t been opened yet. Did you try running a search for anything from stitcherydickorydock@hotmail.com? Let me know if this yields anything. Regarding the trouble logging in, did you try switching browsers? This seems to solve the problem for most people. If you don’t have Google Chrome, download it and give that a try- seems to be the best browser across the board. Pop me an email and we’ll get to the bottom of it :) Amy
Oh my! One year?!?! It can’t be! Well I guess you would know:). Happy Birthday S&S!
You need to post pics of the birthday boys! They are the cutest (along with their big sisters of course!)
Yay for new patterns (super cute- love the quilt) love the girl, yay for boy’s birthdays – so big! Lots of fun stuff going on your way my friend. Hope to catch up with you soon. xo
