This Quilt made me quit my day job

[@Sugaridoo]

Let me know what you'd like to see in the next Suagridoo Sampler quilt! If your block will end up in the quilt I'll send you a free ebook once it's done. That could take a year or so haha.. but I'd loove your input! xo Irene

[@2missteri]

Sugaridoo leuk idee, zou je een (Nederlandse) trein willen ontwerpen a.u.b?!?!?

[@melissalevija5109]

Love your channel keep up the great work. You should do 12 block for the 12 months of the year. And Design around the holidays in that month.

[@cherryross6033]

My daughter was an auper on Holland in 2011. My sister and I went to visit and loved the country. What about blocks of traditional Netherlands icons? Windmills, Clogs, Moats, boats, bicycle, trams, etc.

[@2missteri]

Cherry Ross love your idee 👍🏻

[@lucymitchell5756]

Hi Irene - I so love your approach and attitude towards your craft and your love really comes through in the videos 👍😊. My idea would be to see if you can make some quilt blocks that contain designs of your amigurumi creations - monkey, chicken, cactii (I know you have cactii already but you could make them more “amigurumi” stylised...) - I have NO idea how you turn designs into FPP patterns but would love to know how - so would happily pay for a class or book to learn how to do this 😊. Keep up all your wonderful work 😍

[@melindajohnson6612]

I would love too see camping. (Tent, campfire, marshmallow, lantern) with a mixture of day and night element maybe. I have only just found your channel but am really enjoying it and working my self up to this type of quilting. Have a wonderful rest of the week.

[@themirrorimagestitcher]

melinda johnson I love the camping theme too

[@kandiceshepherd3534]

I also love camping. Maybe a motorhome, backpack, hiking boots and hat, a tree. Anything outdoors for it is my happy place! I made my first paper pieced block of your fish. Thank you so much.

[@netty062]

A mini quilt for teacher gifts would be amazing! Teachers are so hard to buy for and during this pandemic they are working harder than ever. A mini with pencils/erasers, and apple and a slogan like "Proud to be a teacher"

[@saracampbell7974]

I would love to see a sky themed sampler quilt. Creativity is boundless like the sky is huge and beautiful. Imagine the birds, planes, rainbows and even lightening that could decorate a quilt! No matter what you decide to design I am sure it will be full if whimsy, happiness and fun.

[@sophiemurray6215]

Traditional Dutch houses, in all those glorious colours you work so well with. All the windows, great blocks. Adore you’ enthusiasm always.

[@mashinault5896]

I have quite a list of things that spark happy childhood memories..ice skates, sleds, wagons, beach balls, marbles, hula hoops, yo-yos, roller skates ( the kind you tightened with a key), crayons, paper dolls, and buttons. We were so entertained just playing with my mom’s button collection. Simple things!

[@meganjones1253]

Irene Thank you for sharing your story. The Sugaridoo Sampler is such a happy quilt. Quilts are so special. My Grandmother taught me to sew and crochet. She quilted, but like you, it never appealed to me. Sadly, she died before quilting became a joy to me. Each time I do a project, she is my inspiration. Continue on your journey. Sharing this art is a gift of love. Thank you again. Be safe! Megan Jones

[@judyg2338]

You are so joyful to watch! I would love to see a pineapple, a dragonfly and the whole alphabet!

[@conniebremer9755]

You are a joy to watch, your excitement is contagious. Perhaps some 4 leaf clovers, a rainbow, pot of gold, and a leprechaun, or perhaps a baby’s head with a sprig of hair on top and a baby bottle and rattle for a baby blanket idea. Either of those would be lovely.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I loved hearing your #quiltstory

[@robinaanstey3734]

Thank you for sharing your story Irene. You are a real treasure, I love your sense of organic creativity and all of your bright bold colors. Personally, I love the natural world, anything that incorporates the outdoors, plants and trees, ice bergs, water, mountains, clouds etc. If you could perhaps do some pretty flowers or snow capped mountains? That would be fabulous. Keep sewing and creating my friend. Cheers from sunny FL :-)

[@themirrorimagestitcher]

Robina Anstey the mountains are a great idea

[@pattiecoxey]

Very lovely story behind your journey into quilting. Your energy is infectious and I would love your book one day soon. Please come back often to inspire us all! Hello from the USA❤️🤍💙

[@maryeileenwhite3499]

What a wonderful story. You are a wonderfully bubbly person who is filled with joy and happiness. Your crocheting and quilting projects are filled with this same joy and happiness. I began my actual quilt making journey by creating a quilt for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. It was a great surprise. I think a hummingbird block would be a great addition to your collection of colorful and happy quilt blocks.

[@intertruckbrown]

I would love to see a wind mill,houses,and barns, but all your designs and quilts are beautiful, Thankyou for all the videos!

[@MissMoon111]

I have a whole new level of respect for you now I know you were an offshore mechanical engineer!

[@carolmorgano7158]

I would love to see teapots because I love drinking tea too . Love watching you ☕️🌷

[@b3kkab3rry]

Hot air balloons would be awesome. Loved your video. This is the first one I’ve watched. I also learned many crafts from my mother (knitting, sewing, quilting, macrame, embroidery). Sadly she has now passed away. I have never tried paper piecing but I would really like to give it a go now. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@dianemiller9050]

I think a beautiful butterfly and a dragonfly would be a super design.

[@barbarachattin-mcnichols2370]

How about a Sugaridoo Zoo? Lion, giraffe, hippo,tiger, elephant, secretary bird, gorilla, etc. Your patterns are so adorable and such good representations of the animals!

[@jcrefasi1]

What a great idea! Lions and tigers, bears and moose, monkeys and hippos etc Hope she chooses your idea. The title Sugaridoo Zoo is spot on!! .

[@judithdembowski149]

Are your quilt blocks paper pieced??

[@judithdembowski149]

Where do I find your channel?

[@MeticulousShopper]

Wow, a mechanical engineer! Quilters never cease to surprise me!

[@fur3lis3]

Wonderful story! I love birds; especially hummingbirds. I also love flowers like day lilies, peonies, and poppies. Have fun creating new patterns!

[@evelynrodgers7499]

Hummingbirds, red birds, blue Jays and woodpeckers. I these birds are beautiful to look at.

[@loraparker6790]

Houses, different designs and maybe tree houses, childhood items like little red wagons, you could put different items in the wagons, vintage toys. Love your happy channel!

[@carmenirwin6755]

You are just so full of life and vigor. You inspire me. Thank you! Gracias.

[@karentzn]

Irene it is wonderful to hear how your business started. You are so enthusiastic and very encouraging to start to quilt or to keep quilting. I am a paper piecing lover and love your designs. I love butterflies and know they will fit in your new book beautifully. Big, smaller, open wings or closed wings. What fun. Enjoy your new book in the making. Hugs Karen

[@jacquiemcglothlen6572]

You are an absolute beautiful lady, your quilts and patterns are amazing

[@arodriguez819]

Hi Irene, you are such a lovely lady! My name is Aurora and I have never quilted, but you are such an inspiration that I want to learn! Thank you for asking for our ideas. I think 💭 a sampler of other sewing notions like, scissors, buttons, crochet hooks, yarn shapes, etc. Another idea is magic tools like magician hat and bunny, playing cards, etc. Congratulations on your book and wishing you continued success! Aurora

[@BetMey1]

I would love to see a sampler with some more of Dutch culture, traditions, ie. windmills, dutch clogs, Delft Blue, ice skating, speculaas cookies, gouda cheese, soccer, the Dutch flag. My parents emigrated to Canada in 1952 and settled in Ontario, 🇨🇦. I would love to make a sampler of many of the items that bring back memories of Dutch culture and heritage. I love the idea of creating a sampler using the various blocks of what is meaningful to a specific person. My mom was from Groesbeek and my father was from Nijmegen. What area of Holland do you live? I cannot wait to see what ideas you come up with ❤️

[@mariaredpath3900]

I am so happy that I found your videos! Your energy & enthusiasm are brilliant. I would love to see a Christmas Sampler quilt - maybe one that celebrates different traditions throughout the world. Also, a sampler of the different cities/symbols of Europe.

[@mabelgoddard5813]

Wish you all the best on your new path. Your love for bright and happy colors inspired me to plunge and continue sewing! Can’t wait to see what you are doing next . With lots of 💕 💕👏👏

[@laurafeldhans4785]

VW bug would be Awesome to have in your new quilt sampler ... or the VW van done in bright colors with flowers Love your channel thanks for always making my day Brighter

[@themirrorimagestitcher]

Laura Feldhans your ideas are brilliant!!!

[@Mrs_LL]

I'd love palm trees, cocktails in bright colours and different shaped glasses, flamingos, tropical fish, sunbeds and sunshades to remind me of caribbean holidays while I'm snuggled up on cold winter days in England

[@amyhatchett7260]

Make a Dutch quilt, windmills, little birds, tulips, flowers w/hearts, clogs, houses, ect.

[@amyhatchett7260]

@Frank De Ruiter ok. So the same as a USA quilt. 😆

[@ellaw356]

You are so talented and would definitely think your ideas are great! I love the bright colors. I definitely think people would love this for a kids room! Some thing they could have forever. Congrats!

[@lynnschreiner2452]

I really enjoyed this video and learning about the start of Sugaridoo quilting! I bought the e-book in English and will print it out today! As you already know, I recently opened my own happy little sewing studio after being inspired by you. I've been a Realtor for almost 20 years, and it's been so fun to imagine leaving that job to sew everyday and inspire others to sew. How about a quilt sampler with blocks having to do with the things around home. Houses, Trees, Flowers, Hearts, Animals, Windows, Furniture like chairs, tables, sofas, Kitchen (plate and silverware....a pie...plate of cookies...Kitchenaid stand mixer) All things HOME. Whatever you create will be great!

[@nancyingram966]

I so enjoyed this video. It is the first time I've watched you and I love your passion for what you do. You are such a joy to watch. You've inspired me to begin making quilt squares of meaningful things in my life. Later, I'll figure out how I want to put it all together. Thank you for sharing your story and your passion.

[@claudettemonty5155]

What please me is that, like me, you are sewing, quilting (I just have 4) knitting, crocheting, embroidery, etc. I was not sure to come back to quilting ( my last one is almost 6 years ago and I stopped!) I was afraid to have too much on the table but I looked at your videos and ... I bought fabric and everything necessary! Thanks. And continue your nice work!

[@jeannehanna8369]

So enjoyed your sharing your journey. Such happy and fun quilts. My quilting started when I was very young but was the “old way”, and the utility colors, not very happy. Am enjoying learning the new ways and the happy colors. Your quilting is so “free”.

[@islandgirl463]

Aquatic Life...starfish, sandollar, seahorse, seagull, sea otter, whale, boats. Shellfish. Good luck. Foundation paper piecing is my favorite method for quilt blocks!

[@DamnSkippyToo]

I really love the minimalist bunny! The quilting on that one is gorgeous.

[@AChickandaDuck]

I love how your quilting aesthetic so well matches your personality - bright, cheery, and happy! It’s so authentic and refreshing. ❤️

[@lyndaevans1132]

I think you should design a Llama quilt! They have such charming happy faces and look so lovable! Thank you for sharing your 'growth experience' with your Sugaridoo channel and enterprise! Very inspiring!

[@Happybidr]

What I love the most about your designs is the fact that you incorporate the designs of the fabric into the quilt itself. Most people just incorporate the shape they created then add in the specific colors they want there. You take it a step further, look at the actual prints on the fabric and choose how you will use their uniqueness and their charm to make the shapes even better and more meaningful. It is SPECTACULAR! I feel so lucky to have found you and your channel, and your fabrics and quilt designs, and your adorable and very charming personality. When I really like something on youTube, I stop the video midstream then rush to the link so I can buy whatever I need to re-create the quilt you have designed that I fell in love with. It is kind of funny that you are Holland and I’m from the US; I have several connections to Holland. My husband worked and saved money so he could go live there while a junior in high school with the family of a university professor (husband) and a a psychologist (wife). I even met them years later when they came to visit us in the mid 1990s. Wonderful people. Plus my husband married another American whose parents were both Dutch. He was a professor here in the States and they were such lovely people. Anyway, I’m pausing the video now so I can go SHOP at your store!!

[@lillyvonbraun8089]

Good Morning! I loved listening to your story, and seeing your lovely creations! I am a European American. The first ancestor of mine to come to America was James Dykeman from Holland. That was over 400 years ago...1603! He settled in New Amsterdam and most of our family has stayed in the north east! He had a farm in what is now NYC! I I am now inspired to visit Holland and Scandinavia and to begin designing a quilt commemorating his homeland, his ocean journey, and his new life in America! Thank you! Lilly VB PS I have always loved and grown Dutch tulips and one of my favorite cookie recipes is for Dutch Tile Cookies!

[@cecilehoare3053]

I'd love blocks with a nautical theme, different fish shapes, knots, different styled boats (fishing boats, haulers, skiffs etc) fishing hooks, fishing lures, seagulls, lighthouses the list is endless! lol I'm so happy you showed us your book's content, I'm going to go check it out! Love your channel!

[@heatherr9201]

Horse, unicorn, elephant.... and a boy themed quilt! I feel like there aren’t many with good boy/man options (although I do plan to use your sailboat block to make a quilt for my dad)

[@judithdembowski149]

You are great!!❤

I would love to see a baby sampler quilt. Thanks to you I am learning, and loving, foundation paper piecing. I often make baby quilts and would love your help for new ideas. Thanks for all you share with us!

[@wooleygirl5240]

Irene, loved your video! How about vintage or modern children's toys, dolls, bears that are popular in the Netherlands. You are such a joy to watch. I admire you for quitting your day job to pursue your dreams. Seems it was the right decision! You make me happy with your positive attitude and ability to inspire others to create their own masterpieces. Your quilting is beautiful! Pam Miller

[@quiltingatthelake]

I skimmed most comments to make sure I wasn't duplicating. But I thought that duplicates would be good because you can get an idea of where our heads are all at in your next book. First, you are such a dolly. Thank you for your infectious smile and your positive can-do attitude. An island, mountains, grass, and other nature things would be nice.

[@tjreece6299]

Windmills ! Lol I love all your blocks!! whatever you come up with will be just as beautiful.

[@pamketron]

Love your story and quilts! So glad you were able to follow your dreams. Would love to see a Nature & Botanicals quilt blocks. Birds, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, squirrels, deer, bears, raccoons, and etc on the animals of nature. Flowers, trees, sunshine, moon, stars, herbs, and etc on flowers and botanicals. You get where I’m going with my ideas. The possibilities are endless!! Like a Nature Wonderland where every block is magical and fun. You are so very talented. I love how happy you are in your videos. You inspire me to try new things and have fun creating. Hugs!🤗

[@judithann1035]

I really enjoyed your story. You certainly were brave to quit your job! Good for you. It was worth it. I would like t see a block with sea life such as seals, octopus, and/or lobster.

Anything with people, adults and children, and blocks that have all randomness with different shapes and sizes. Thanks for sharing your love for quilting! :)

[@marywilliams5262]

I would love to see a quilt with a wheelchair. You could do a theme of "wheels" but also include a wheelchair maybe? My son is in an electric wheelchair. I love your video! I think you should find a publisher for your sampler. I would love to buy one. Lori Holt writes sampler books and I have all of hers. If you would like to see the books I am happy to take some photos and show you.

[@nancystockman9719]

my passions (besides quilting) are gardening--both vegetables and flowers, golf, sewing my clothing, and walking the trails in beautiful NE Iowa to admire the wide variety of trees and how the leaves change in the fall. Here's another idea that is quite personal for me right now...I had a double mastectomy last week because of breast cancer. I'm not doing reconstruction for various reasons but I'm fresh into adjusting to a new body. A collection of ladies of all sizes, with and without boobies would be amazing. Heartfelt congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your journey. Best wishes always!!!

[@janerose1945]

Nancy: reading your response to Sugaridoo was inspiring for me. Your positive attitude about adjusting to your new shape is admirable and the boobie quilt a great idea! Accepting our bodies is sometimes a huge hurdle. Hoping all has been going in good directions for you in Iowa! May your veggies be abundant and your flower gardens fragrant, your golf score low, and your cloths comfy!

I super love your energy and enthusiasm! You inspire me and watching your channel make me happy every time. So glad you could quit your other job to follow this dream and what a wonderful success! I am in the US but I love everything Dutch. I think there needs to be a windmill in the next sampler and maybe a wooden shoe! I know that seems very specific to the region geographically but I think it is unique and I have never seen a paper piecing patter for these. I would make these two things as a mini quilt for my best pal who visited the Netherlands with me! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the future book! So excited!!!

[@karenbuckley5710]

Good morning, i just woke up and went to utube to watch a quilt video over my morning coffee. How lovely to have found your video on starting your business. Your enthusiasm for quilting is so refreshing. I look forward to seeing more of your videos and downloading your ebook. I smiled at all of the bright, fun blocks on your quilt. Thank you so much. Great way to start my day.

[@connieolson8497]

I have purchased a few of your patterns. I love to watch your approach to your projects. The foundation pieces are so interesting and I love your scrappy freeform (improve) blocks too (very much). I. Like your choices if backings and fabrics selections in general. I think a block of a small quilt in your quilt would be fun.

[@haliannemcgee-hilbert2494]

I enjoy your videos so much! You inspired me to actually try to make my own paper piecing designs. I made a flower and it turned out wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration! I would enjoy seeing blocks that pertain to mountains and all of the activities that you can do in the mountains. So there could be a mountain, trees, cabin/house, backpack, skis, flowers, pine cones, walking stick (hiking stick), etc.

[@joane8651]

Irene, I loved this video, my mind is racing with ideas, thank you for telling us your story. I do admire you and feel guilty that I only speak one language well. I like your designs of animals, they are all enjoyable and unique. I love the flowers you have created, also would like a dragonfly. I was thinking about a Noah's Ark kind of theme, but there are so many good suggestions here. I am excited to see your small quilts, especially the owl and the penguins, and am anxious to try that for myself, maybe that way I can become a better machine quilter and not be so intimidated with larger ones. Smiles and hugs, Joan

Irene, I loved your story! Thank you for sharing it. 😊 You are So darned cute and I love your enthusiasm. How did you come up with the name, “Sugaridoo”? It’s catchy and cute. I am going to check out your website and Sampler book! I would like to see blocks with stars in them. I’m new to quilting and have not done paper piecing yet, but would like to learn how to do that. Keep up the good work! 🥰♥️

[@jeffsbug198]

I love your designs and i am so inspired to make some things you have in your book. One of your past videos showed a little village. I think some houses or buildings would be a great set of patterns. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

[@bethzamorski9469]

So enjoyed your start up story. How did you come up with the name Sugaridoo? I have two suggestions, in keeping with your name, maybe all different candies. Another idea would be different types of trees; oak, palm, firs and pines, sequoias, small Japanese maples, etc.

Irene. I just watched your video explaining how you got started and your Mom's quilt. I loved the story and your Mom must be so excited for you and Sugaridoo. I know I am! My thoughts for your new project would be farm and/or country life. I was thinking about fresh pies, garden tomatoes hanging on the vine, cows, wind mills (and even more tulips). Keep it personal, this creates so much magic. Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious, inspires me to sew happy. I wish you great success on the next project and thank you so much for sharing your story. Regards Dorinda

Thanks for all your videos. I have the sampler ebook and love it, especially the letters I have made several bags for kids with their names, so much fun. I always get excited when I see that book in my sewing room, then I always get side tracked because I want to make something else from it. So many choices. Love love that book. Maybe a basket block would be cute maybe with flower or something else in it? Or a duck block since they are so cute. Look forward to next weeks video!

I just started quilting this summer, I saw your video title and thought “Oh neat”. I love your designs and the heart behind your quilt. I love what you said about colors and your bright colors. I kid around with the longarmer at our quilt shop and say that “I like colors that punch you in the face” meaning I really like colors that grab your attention. I’m not near so adventurous as your patterns yet, but maybe someday. I especially love the music blocks as I teach music! I can’t wait to see more!

[@lindalosier5989]

Every time you say your name I think of my daughter. Her name is Arlena and the way you pronounce Irene sounds very much like her name. It always makes me smile. What a great video. You have a great story and I'm so glad you shared it with us. I love my vegetable garden and growing tomatoes and peppers, mostly because they grow the best in my garden. I enjoy making my own salsa and providing good things for my family. I think tomatoes, peppers, onions, canning jars would make really cute quilt patterns. It might even tempt me to try paper piecing. You make it look easy but I'm not sure I could do it.

[@TJSAG]

Hello! I so loved your video! Love, love, love it! You inspired me to get moving on what I love to do - draw and paint. I paint with watercolors and you paint with materials!

Love your quilts -- love themed anything -- Farm Life, Forest friends, (bear, squirrel, fox, wildcat, field mouse etc) interspersed with more of those great trees! Camping is a fun subject too because it's not just tents... Maybe wonders of the world or pick a country and feature a few blocks to represent the countries or hobbies? I know that there are other quilts out there with similar themes but I love your fun designs and wonders of the world would give you years worth of inspiration! I noticed how math oriented you were in designing your quilts and then when you made mention of your degree in Mechanical Engineering it made perfect sense -- My son is an Electrical Engineer here in the states -- he's all about numbers! Can't wait to see what designs you come up with! Thank you for all you do!

I will be retiring in a year and wanted to do quilting all my life so this is the time to start. You asked for ideas on your new pattern book. I always love flowers and a gardening tools theme would be very pretty. The challenge is that flower are generally round. I think all types of flowers would be cute. 💐🌷🌹🌻🌼🌸🌺🥀

I loved your video!!! What a beautiful story of love and success!! You are obviously doing what you love and you are so passionate about crafting and it shows!! I would to have the pattern book in English (an e-book would be difficult to work with)...and I would love to see a traditional Dutch quilt will all of the lovely Dutch things we know.. windmills, clogs, cheese, canals and barges, all of it!! I love the Netherlands and it could probably turn into another pattern book with all if the designs you could create!! Keep sewing and creating I love it all!!

I love your fabrics. I can imagine a circus theme/tent as a possible block.
