Hello! I hope you all have your year off to a great start! I’m gonna start out trying to catch up on a few things I got behind on last year (I hate having to do that, but it needs to be done to make myself feel better!) Can you even believe I have things […]

Posted on December 31, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

It’s the last day of 2023! Did you get as many blocks made as you wanted to this year? I ended up with a total of 976 for the year, only adding 10 during December. I’m not sure what I was doing, but it wasn’t sitting at my sewing machine, evidently! I got so close […]

The Annual Quandary

Posted on December 27, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

The quandary of what to do for a planner for next year . . . For several years now, I’ve been using a homemade planner, and while it has worked well for me, I decided that for 2024, I would purchase a ready-made planner. I shopped for weeks. It feels like I looked at every planner […]

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 […]
