Hi, there! If you haven’t already done it by now, I hope you’ll check out the July/August 2023 issue of Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting magazine. I have an article in there this time! It’s about battling burnout. I think we all have to do that now and then. It’s a real thing. Right […]

My Thimble Collection

Posted on March 17, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Studio News

I’m not much of a decorator — my sister got all of that gene in our family. So while I love looking at stuff other people have done, I never seem to do much of it myself. My youngest daughter travels a lot, and she buys me a souvenir thimble everywhere she goes. I also […]

Just in case you are running out of things to do, I thought I’d pop on today with a few links to some fun stuff I’ve run across lately. While I wish I personally had time to do all of these things my ownself, I’m pretty sure it won’t happen, but that ain’t stoppin’ me […]

Snowballs!

Posted on January 24, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Quilts

A perfect day to talk about snowballs, since this is the view out my studio window this morning. Ranger doesn’t know it yet, but that hay he’s looking at longingly is just about to get moved across the fence for him and Wyatt! They will love it. But the snowballs I really want to talk […]

Round Robin

Posted on June 5, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Inspiration, Quilts

Approximately 23 years ago, my friend, Rose Marie, and I decided that we wanted to do a Round Robin quilt. There are many different iterations of how a Round Robin can be set up, but we wanted the kind where you start with a center block, and pass it around to other group members for […]

Sum Fun Lynx

Posted on May 16, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Quilt-Alongs & Bees

I’ve been seeing so many cute things that look like they’d be fun online lately. It’s all I can do not to start some of them! So, I thought I’d share them with you, and just live vicariously through watching other people do them, until I get my own mess a bit more under control. […]
