September Featured Pattern

Posted on September 1, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

Since we’re heading into fall (my favorite season), I’m featuring a nice fall table runner pattern this month. “Pomegranates and Pineapples” is an 18″ x 38″ pattern that you can make using a charm pack and a little bit of background, or raid your fall scraps and put one together. The piecing is super simple, […]

August 350 Blocks Report

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

Well! I apologize for being mostly absent for the entire month of August. I didn’t even get all of my messages responded to, and didn’t post any Studio Organizing Challenges, either — it was an insanely busy month. Something had to fall by the wayside, and evidently, that was my blog! Hopefully, I’ll do better […]

This month I’m featuring a quilt with colors that match the weather we’re having! I love this sunny palette, and I keep going back to it again and again — this color combo is just so cheery!

July 350 Blocks Report

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

Well, that’s a wrap! I managed to get 87 blocks made this month. My Sticky Buns Challenge really helped, but I will say that I mostly used the challenge to do things like set blocks together and to do things I would normally procrastinate on, so any blocks that came from it are bonus! I […]

July Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on July 28, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Where has this month gone? I thought I’d get so much more done than I have. I did clean out three project tubs. None of them are emptied, but they are cleaned out and I know what’s in them. Two of them are projects that should be fairly quick and easy to finish, so I […]

July Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on July 11, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well! I sure hope you all did better with the last challenge than I did. In fact, I think my cutting table actually looks worse than it did before I started!! You can see the before photo HERE. Here is its current state as of this morning: Ugh! Not a lot of difference, even with […]

Popping on to show you some of what I’ve been working on lately. I realized that I do a lot of stitching in lots of different categories, so I’m gonna break the projects down into those categories, and show you what I’m working on in each category. I’ve got 11 different categories today, so let’s […]

The Sticky Buns Challenge

Posted on July 2, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

If you’ve been reading my blog for very long, you’ve probably heard me say more than once that I have to make things into a game for myself to stay motivated sometimes. In fact, in my recent article on Battling Burnout in Love of Quilting Magazine, one of the things I suggest is making things into […]

It’s officially summer! Fireworks, picnics, baseball, excessive heat! This month I’m featuring both of my patriotic small-project patterns. Easy Strips and Stars: This is a reversible, quilt-as-you-go table runner pattern. You can make it patriotic on one side, Christmas on the other, or any combination of holidays/occasions you wish! If you don’t want to make […]
