Beef Stir Fry

Posted on July 26, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I haven’t posted a recipe in quite awhile, but lately, I’ve been having to come up with meals that are easy for me to fix with disabled arms. This is one of them. I can’t lift pans off the stove, and I had to get My Cowboy to do the stirring, but I was able […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 17

Posted on July 25, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I’m glad I had some blocks cut out and ready to sew before surgery, or I would not be making any progress at all. At least I can feed pieces through the machine, and I’ve actually completed two more blocks since surgery. I can’t rotary cut at all, not even with the ergonomic cutter this […]

July Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on July 23, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Let’s see . . . where were we? I completely fell off the organizing wagon for a while there! Our last challenge was to deal with paper clutter, and even tho I did go through some stuff and toss a bunch, I didn’t really address the challenge fully. And I haven’t offered one up since […]

So Far This Summer

Posted on July 21, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Studio News

I thought I’d pop on with an update on what I’ve been working on this summer so far. I was moving several things along fairly well, once my slump was over, but got immediately waylaid by elbow replacement surgery, which I was not expecting to have to have. But here I am, back at square […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 16

Posted on July 18, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

It’s time for Section Four already! Here’s my original (a dark photo for some reason): Here’s a much better shot from my second version: There’s a partial seam in this section, but you should be a pro at that after Section Three, so I know you can handle it. Refer back to this tutorial post […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 15

Posted on July 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

How’s it going? We should be 1/3 through the section assembly by now. Personally, I am not quite there yet, but I made some good progress this past week. I’d like to get some more cutting done this week. I’ve been using my small blocks as leader/ender pieces for other things that I have to […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 14

Posted on July 6, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I’m losing track, getting off track, and getting confused about what week we’re on!!! I didn’t get this posted last week, and had no plans to post this on Monday since it was a holiday, but I sure thought I’d at least have it posted yesterday — better late than never, right? I’m struggling to […]

June 350 Blocks Report

Posted on June 30, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Did you sew like the wind in June? I tried, but I still feel like I’m seriously behind and moving in slow motion. I did do better than last month, tho, and ended up with 131 blocks for June. I made some more blocks for my Mad Dash quilt, some more Vintage Melons, twelve 16-patches, […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 12

Posted on June 20, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

We’re twelve weeks in, folks! Have you been doing lots of sewing on your Mad Dash blocks? I made several more over the weekend, but it’s time to have myself a cutting party to cut out some more. I’m almost done with one type/color of my blocks, and well along with some of the others. […]

A Quilt for Brooks

Posted on June 17, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

My cousin’s youngest daughter had a baby boy back in March. Brooks Tyler arrived on the scene a week early, and is already 3 months old! Look at those cheeks! Of course, I had to make him a quilt. I struggled with deciding on a color scheme at first. I was planning to try and […]
