Forest Floor

Posted on November 28, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

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 […]

October 350 Blocks Report

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

Happy Halloween! It’s our coldest day yet; just in time, as always — and windy, to boot. I’m happy to stay inside and quilt. We don’t get trick-or-treaters here. The first year we were here for Halloween, I asked My Cowboy: “Do you think we’ll get any trick-or-treaters, or will they think this house is […]

Made in USA

Posted on October 31, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

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 […]

October Featured Pattern

Posted on October 1, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

This month I’m featuring another of my quilts that I just love for this season: Scrappy Wild Geese. As the real geese around here head south for the winter, and the temps start to cool down, it’s a good time to fit in some scrap quilt stitching, isn’t it? This pattern is great for using […]

September 350 Blocks Report

Posted on September 30, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

We sure had a lovely month of September around here. We could use some rain, but the weather has been lovely. I hope it continues for several more months! It was a busy month, and my time was so chopped up that there were days when it didn’t even make any sense to try to […]

Here we are once again at that point in the year when there are only 100 days left! (And it’s the first day of fall, my favorite season.) What are you going to be doing with them? I’m once again making my list of “100 Things To Do in the Next 100 Days” in the […]

September Organizing Challenge

Posted on September 15, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I haven’t posted a Studio Organizing Challenge in quite some time! I’ve simply been too busy with deadlines to worry about organizing. Thankfully, the mess didn’t get too much worse while I was in the throes of all that, but still, regular organizing DOES need to happen around here to keep things under control. And […]
