It’s Deceeeeeember! Time for twinkle lights, choir concerts, and finishing our Sugar Block quilts! I can’t believe this year is coming to an end! This month’s block is pure wintery whimsy, and it’s just perfect for whipping up a last minute holiday table topper or throw, like this happy holiday quilt that Premium members will […]
November In the Sugar Block Club
Hi Friends!!! Aaahh! It’s November and this blog has been seriously crickets! I’m late in getting this posted but trying to give myself some grace. Between my trip to quilt market, extra busy family stuff….AND an exciting not-so-little announcement… I HAVE A FABRIC COLLECTION COMING OUT IN JANUARY! AAAHHHH! I am thrilled beyond words. It’s […]
October in the Sugar Block Club
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 […]
September in the Sugar Block Club
Ah, dear friends! A new month is upon us, and that means it’s time to add another block to our growing stack of Sugar Block goodness– and not a moment too early (admittedly, I’m hesitant to get into the nitty gritties of why this month’s block is being released later than usual, but suffice it to say, […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Sugar Block Club is Back!
Why hello dear friends! What a delight to finally be back on the blog after a much-needed hiatus! Oh how I’ve missed you! SO so much to catch up on. We’ve been busy! At the moment though, anything BUT busy is the goal. We’re savoring a fabulously mellow Thanksgiving weekend here in the Gibson household…a feast […]
Many A Goose On The Loose: A Charm Friendly Tutorial
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 […]
