Orange and Blue Simple Chain

Posted on May 5, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Another finish from this year — when I chose this color combo, I didn’t realize exactly how much I would love it, but it really turned out great! And I was just trying to use up scraps and stash! Just as I did for THIS quilt, I made this quilt from one of the blocks […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 5

Posted on May 4, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Here it is Wednesday again, and I haven’t taken the time to check in with a Mad Dash update. I didn’t get much more sewing done on my blocks this past week. I had a couple urgent deadlines, some errands to run, and spent one day nursing a migraine. I think our stormy weather got […]

April 350 Blocks Report

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

Here we are at the end of another month already! We’re having a long spring, which is fine with me, altho I could do with a bit less wind — it’s been super blustery here. And I keep forgetting to put my hair in a pony tail before I step out the door! I ended […]

Mad Dash Sew Along, Week 4

Posted on April 25, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Today I’m gonna talk about making some of the partial blocks — the easiest ones — the ones I’m calling 1/3-2/3 blocks. I called them this for lack of anything better to call them, and because they are all either 1/3 or 2/3 of a whole block; when sewn into the quilt, they will meet […]

Necktie Candy Boxes

Posted on April 22, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Necktie Social, Quilts

The next Necktie Social quilt has been delivered! This time I used the “Cloud Nine” pattern, designed by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. I had lots of little leftover pieces from previous Necktie Social quilts, and this was a great way to use them up! When I was finished, I thought the blocks looked […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 3

Posted on April 20, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I know I was supposed to post this on Monday, but it’s been a crazy week here. Evidently, it’s deadline season, and I only just realized it! I think it’s because time gets away from me, and I always think I have more than is actually available. Or maybe it’s because I’m so slow these […]

April Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on April 12, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I cleaned out a drawer! Did you? And . . . it was NOT the drawer I had intended to clean out. But it needed it, and it feels much better to have it organized. The drawer I cleaned out is the drawer where I keep all my template plastic, specialty templates (of which […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 2

Posted on April 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Before we begin, I’ll just say right now: Don’t let the week-number thing cause you any angst, cos this is a sew-at-your-own-pace quilt-along. It’s simply because I don’t know what else to name the posts, and this may help make it easier to look back at past posts in the event you need to review […]

Pink Tulips Baby Quilt

Posted on April 5, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts

I’m back with another pink baby quilt today. This one is called Pink Tulips: I made it using one of the blocks from my BOM quilt, Sew Sweet Sampler — Block 5, to be exact — so if you have the Sew Sweet Samplers pattern, you already have this block pattern, too! If not, you can […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along Kickoff!

Posted on April 4, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

It’s April 4th already — that snuck up on me! Agnes and Arthur turned TWO years old yesterday — they’ve grown up so beautiful! They’re so sweet, and they love back scratches. Arthur loves apples, but Agnes isn’t too excited about special treats. Agnes looks so much like her mother, but without the black parts, […]
