A Sad and Tough Decision

Posted on April 23, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in What's New

I have a big announcement today . . . I’m shutting down my website soon. I’ve been debating this for nearly a year. The site is out of date, so therefore, it’s getting out of compliance, and since I’m trying to downsize everything in my life, I don’t want to pour money into an entirely […]

Posted on April 10, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Thought I’d pop on and show you this darling Bowties quilt today. This vintage quilt top belongs to my friend, Richelle, and she asked me if I could turn it into a finished quilt for her. And that’s what I do — so of course, I said I would! It turned out even more darling […]

It’s going back and forth between hot and cold right now. We’ll have a day when it’s 87 outside, then the next day we have a freeze warning. One day we’ll be under a tornado watch, and two days later, it’s snowing again. It’s hard on the animals. They start trying to shed their winter […]

March Studio Organizing

Posted on March 25, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

How did you do with your old UFOs? I really loved hearing what you all were working on — so many bindings! — and some of them made me laugh. Projects can sure get some age on them really fast, can’t they? Since I’m not letting myself start anything new, I’ve been digging around in […]

February Studio Organizing

Posted on February 26, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

How has it gone with trying to get rid of one thing every day? I’ve been doing OK with it, but at the time of this writing, I still need to come up with two things that need to go. Well, actually way more than that, but only two to have my 30 days in! […]

5 Tiny Tips To Make Longarm Quilting More Fun

Posted on February 10, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, Quilting For Hire

I don’t typically try to offer anyone any information on HOW to use a longarm machine. There are so many fabulous quilters out there who teach great classes and have so much good information to share, and I don’t feel I’m up to that level. My longarm quilting advice is usually limited to helping other […]

As much as I dislike winter, and how January seems to drag on interminably, this year it seemed to fly right by. I worked on a lot of stuff. The Final Countdown got me motivated to do a lot of things, especially after updating that frightful list of projects! I got rid of FIVE UFOs […]

Planners and Trackers

Posted on January 6, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

I love that fresh start to the new year, cracking open a new planner book, updating all my trackers to start anew, and loving all the possibilities that a clean slate provides. This year, I didn’t even hesitate on which planner to buy. Last year, I got a Plum Paper planner, and loved it so […]
