June Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on June 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I really enjoyed reading all the comments on the last challenge post and hearing what you all were going to choose for that task. Did you get it done? I worked on mine, but naturally, I’m not done. I sewed three more pillowcases, and was very near the end of the pile, when I decided […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 10

Posted on June 6, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Week 10 already? I can’t understand how that happens. I feel like Rip van Winkle! I need to start sewing faster. My stockpile isn’t large enough to suit me, so I haven’t begun my assembly yet. But in spite of that, I’m here today with a couple of hopefully helpful tips for Section Two. This […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 9

Posted on June 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I skipped a Monday check-in on purpose this week, because it was a holiday, and I made full use of it! And I have no other excuse for why I’m just now posting this on late Wednesday. I don’t have my Section One pieced yet. And it’s almost time for Section Two. Good thing this […]

May 350 Blocks Report

Posted on June 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Whew! My slump really took a toll on my block count this month. If it wasn’t for my 100 Days Project, which I’m also behind on, I wouldn’t have much to show for the month of May. I made 20 more Vintage Melon blocks: I made some more blocks for my Mad Dash quilt, four […]

May Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on May 27, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I seriously thought about skipping a second task for this month like I did last month, but then I read a little blurb from someone about how cleaning up their sewing room was all they needed to get their mojo back, so given my current slump, I decided it could possibly work, so I need […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 8

Posted on May 23, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Are you ready to start a real section??? This is exciting! We’re starting in the upper left corner and working our way across the rows of sections, so Section One is the upper left corner of our quilt, and we’re gonna get going! Here’s my original pink/gray Section One: Here’s my orange/low-volume version’s Section One: […]

Staying Motivated

Posted on May 17, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilting For Hire

I’ve mentioned lately that my mojo has been missing. I’ve been in a bit of a slump, and haven’t felt like doing much of anything. Granted, having both of my arms partially disabled, and having fought the pain of it all for over nine months now, I’m sorta due for a slump (My Cowboy has […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 7

Posted on May 16, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

The weeks are flying by! And here it is still Monday, and I have the weekly post ready! I might slowly be coming out of the recent fog I’ve been in. Heaven knows, there’s plenty I need to get done — I just haven’t been motivated to do much of it. Since I have to […]

May Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on May 13, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I completely skipped a second organizing task in April. My mojo has been failing me lately. I’ve been unmotivated, uninspired, unimaginative, and just plain tired. But evidently, I can still pen a rhyme! Haha! I did get my computer files cleaned up. That felt good. It’s always a comfort to have new fresh backups, too. […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 6

Posted on May 12, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Another check-in week — how’s it going? If I get any later with the check-in posts, I might as well just skip them — my mojo is flagging, and I’ve been extra slow this week. I blame the heat. So much for that long spring I was talking about — we went from cold (40s […]
