Signature Quilt Update

Posted on February 7, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Lots of you have been asking for an update on my Signature quilt, and I’ve been late offering one up, that’s for sure. I put out the first call for blocks in May of 2020, and posted the tutorial HERE in June of 2020 to make it easier to find. I started setting them together […]

Seeing Red

Posted on February 4, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Stash Tales

Red fabric, that is! This month, I’m concentrating on my red fabric bin, in the interest of having all the red fabrics in one place, and having the lid actually fit on the bin. I worked on blue during January, and here’s what happened: • I filled a box and sent to my friend, Amanda, […]

News From the Studio, Episode 1219

Posted on February 3, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

I seem to always start January off with a flurry of activity. Maybe it’s because winter keeps me inside. Maybe it’s because The Final Countdown inspires me with a fresh start. Maybe it’s because I’m all excited to get some stuff done and off my to-do list. I also usually time travel back to find […]

February Featured Pattern

Posted on February 2, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

February’s featured pattern is “What the Hex?” This pattern uses hexagons to teach you how to do set-in seams, so it’s a great one to learn on, and the possibilities for hexie arrangement are basically endless. I designed this back when honeycombs were a thing from Moda. They’re no longer a thing from Moda these […]

January 350 Blocks Report

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

I did better than I thought I would! I was on a serious finishing mission, so I didn’t think I was actually getting that many blocks made, but if you leader/ender blocks while you’re setting others together, they really do add up! I ended up with 74 blocks to start off the year. Not as […]

January Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on January 25, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, all I managed to get done with the last task was clean out the drawers in my sewing machine cabinet, and thankfully, they weren’t too messy. But now I have fresh bobbins wound, all attachments are back in place, I bought a new bottle of machine oil to keep on hand, and all my […]

The 350 Blocks Project, 2023

Posted on January 17, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Kicking off the 12th Annual 350 Blocks Project! Hard to believe we’ve been doing this for so long (or that my blog will be 14 years old this summer). I went back and totaled up the last 11 years of my blocks, and from 2013, when I first started keeping track, until now, I’ve made […]

January Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on January 13, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you all survive The Final Countdown? Ready to tackle even more organizing? I’ve finished a few quick-to-finish things already this month, which means I’m already starting to check some things off my list, and I’m still chipping away at that pile in my spare room. This is a BIG downsizing year for me, and […]

I’ve Got the Blues

Posted on January 11, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Stash Tales

Boy, do I ever have the blues! TWO entire bins of blue fabric. And even more that I can’t get to fit into said bins. Last year, it was my goal to get all my fabric to fit into the designated bins. I managed to make it all fit, and then . . . as […]
