June 350 Blocks Report

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

It felt like I wasn’t getting much done this past month, but my total was 61 blocks this time, so apparently, I really did get a bit more sewing time in than I imagined! Some days, it was storming, so I couldn’t plug in the longarm, or I only had a few minutes to fill, […]

Posted on June 13, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Studio News

Hi, there! If you haven’t already done it by now, I hope you’ll check out the July/August 2023 issue of Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting magazine. I have an article in there this time! It’s about battling burnout. I think we all have to do that now and then. It’s a real thing. Right […]

June Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on June 10, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you find a random tub to clean out last time? I know some of you did. It’s always fun to hear about what you find while organizing. And comforting to know that I’m not alone! I ended up cleaning out all four of the little tubs on the top of my gigantic tub pile […]

June’s featured pattern bargain is all about the lake life! It’s that time of year, people will be getting back out on the water, and this little design is a great way to decorate! I’m featuring my Aweigh quilted pillow pattern. The pattern is for a 14″ pillow, but the anchor design is actually quite […]

May 350 Blocks Report

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

For once, time wise, my month seemed fairly normal. It didn’t just whiz past in a blur, altho we’ve had plenty going on. We’ve had gorgeous weather, too. I’ve had a lot of family things going on, so I haven’t had many complete days at home, which has cut into my quilting time. But still […]

May Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on May 26, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I have an after photo to show you from the last task we tackled! Look at this! You can see the before photo HERE. It feels so much better. Almost all of it was simply stuff that needed to be put away where it belongs. Why do I let it pile up??? Another question it […]

Martha’s Flower Garden

Posted on May 24, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Today, I wanna show you a recent vintage finish that’s been a long time in the works. A few years ago, a childhood friend, Marsha, contacted me to ask if I would quilt a quilt for her. She was in possession of a quilt top that had been pieced by her grandmother, Martha. Martha had […]

May Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on May 10, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I did it! I stopped procrastinating, set in on that messy corner, and here’s what I ended up with! I haven’t had my hand-quilting frame set up for nearly 11 years! The poor quilt that’s in it has been languishing for that long! It’s not a hand-quilted quilt, either — it’s a quilt that […]

No-Bake Peanut Butter Freezer Cookies

Posted on May 9, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I’m all about quick and simple when it comes to cooking/baking, which you know if you’ve followed me for very long! These cookies fit that category — no-bake, 5 ingredients, and quick and easy to mix up. I just make a batch, keep them in a bag in the freezer, and then I can just […]

May Featured Pattern

Posted on May 2, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

What better pattern to feature in May than my Mayflowers pattern?? I designed this quilt to teach at the 2016 Arrow Rock Quilt Camp, and guess what’s going on the first week of this month, as well? The Arrow Rock Quilt Camp, once again! I’m not teaching there any more, but I thought it was […]
