Forest Floor

Back today to show you another finish, and this is a biggie! I started this quilt sometime around 2008, and got the top finished pretty quickly, because it’s just scrap squares. The idea came from this book, “Bed Warmers”, by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith (from 1999). The cover quilt, called “Country Traditions”, was my […]

Made in USA

My most recent finish! I made this quilt to donate to my guild so that it can be presented to a veteran on Veteran’s Day this year to recognize him for his service. I thought it would be a good use of some of my pre-cut strips, and would also use up some of my […]

Martha’s Flower Garden

Today, I wanna show you a recent vintage finish that’s been a long time in the works. A few years ago, a childhood friend, Marsha, contacted me to ask if I would quilt a quilt for her. She was in possession of a quilt top that had been pieced by her grandmother, Martha. Martha had […]

Take Two

Meet my newest pattern — Take Two! It’s a cute little movie-themed throw quilt that you can wrap up in to watch your favorite movies! Take Two features 20 scrappy sampler star blocks set into a movie-reel-type sashing, and measures ~58″ x 70″. (I say approximately because it all depends on how you trim it […]

The Evolution of a Stash

Posted on February 20, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Stash Tales

When I first started quilting nearly 50 years ago, I started out with one big garbage bag of scraps that was given to me by my Great-Aunt Charlotte. It wasn’t sorted in any way, shape, or form, and I just riffled through it for what I wanted to use. I also started out making completely […]

Signature Quilt Update

Lots of you have been asking for an update on my Signature quilt, and I’ve been late offering one up, that’s for sure. I put out the first call for blocks in May of 2020, and posted the tutorial HERE in June of 2020 to make it easier to find. I started setting them together […]

20 Quilts

Since back in the spring of this year, I’ve been working to gather up and make wheelchair quilts for one of my local nursing homes. The gal in charge said they could use around 15 quilts, but I decided I’d make 20, just in case. First, I gathered up all the quilts I already had […]

Suan’s 36-Patch Quilt

Years ago, I made a 36-Patch quilt: I finished the top in 2012 at a retreat, and finally got it quilted and bound in February of 2019! It takes me awhile sometimes, especially if the quilt doesn’t have a deadline — haha! A couple years ago, I sold the quilt. However, my daughter’s personal assistant, […]

Sister Projects

Sister Projects

My sister and I occasionally take on “Sister Projects” together. It’s seriously fun to have a sister close who quilts! She didn’t start quilting in earnest until 2001, but it’s as if she’s been quilting with me all along. I used to quilt with our grandmother, and Katy took up quilting a few months after […]
