This is it!

The Future of Prairie Moon Quilts

Posted on May 18, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in What's New

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 The site is out of date, so therefore, it’s getting out of compliance, and since I’m trying to downsize everything in my life, I don’t want to pour money into an entirely […]

Pink Lady

Posted on December 21, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, What's New

It’s finally here — the 2023 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Boot Christmas Stocking! And I guess I should say “cowgirl”, cos it’s called “Pink Lady” this year. I haven’t done a pink stocking since 2009, so I figured it was high time for another one. Here she is: This year’s boot features very simple hand […]

Kathy’s Ramble

Posted on May 12, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts, What's New

Were you aware that the simple patchwork pinwheel block has many names? One of those names is “Kathy’s Ramble”. When I designed the Arrow Rock Sampler quilts, I included this block in the quilt in honor of Kathy Borgman, who runs Borgman’s Bed & Breakfast in the Village of Arrow Rock. It’s where I’ve stayed […]

  Craft in America on PBS is airing an episode on QUILTS! Tonight! You’ll have to check your local listings for the time.

Rodeo Queen

Posted on December 25, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, What's New

Merry Christmas!! I realize I’m terribly late getting this year’s Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Boot Christmas Stocking published, but what better day than today to be late with it, huh? This year’s stocking is called “Rodeo Queen”. I’ve been wanting to make a mostly white stocking for several years, and Rodeo Queen is my attempt […]

The 2018 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Christmas Stocking is here!!! Woohoo! This year’s cowboy boot stocking is the 11th annual (already?!), and it’s called “Gypsy Cowgirl”. I especially love it because it’s red! I was ready for another red stocking! This stocking may also be the easiest one yet, because I’ve taken out all the […]

Posted on March 22, 2018 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Studio News, What's New

We’re past Hump Day already, and I don’t feel like I’ve done one single productive thing yet this week. Fortunately, I was at my guild’s spring retreat last weekend at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop’s fabulous retreat center, where I did move a few projects forward with some uninterrupted sewing time. We got to watch the […]
