100 Days of Hand Embroidery (Wrap-up)

Posted on April 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Embroidery

I’ve been done with this project since early January, but I wanted to do an un-rolling video, and just couldn’t figure that out (I’m a real tech whiz, dontcha know!) Anyway, I managed a really poor one today, and you can see it on my Instagram account (since I don’t know how to imbed a […]

Posted on March 31, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

One fourth of the year already gone! Wow! I’ve spent a LOT of time at the longarm machine, but I have also been sewing like the wind to finish some things up, so I had a pretty good total this month. I ended up with 130 blocks for March. One was a guild exchange block […]

Pink Petals Baby Quilt

Posted on March 28, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Tutorials

It all started with this . . . Going through a random bag of scraps that I had put aside for some unknown reason. Why did I even save something like these? What did I think I was going to do with them? Where did they come from? At the time, I can assure you, […]

March Studio Organizing, Task Two

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

How did that 2 weeks go by so fast? Maybe it was the time change? I feel like I cleaned and organized so many projects, yet my table was still full! I finished EIGHT wheelchair lap quilt tops. They’re only 36″ square, but still, they used up lots of pieces and I also prepped backings […]

March Studio Organizing, Task One

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

Let me just say right now that I did the last organizing challenge immediately after posting it, and I have been loving having my handwork all organized in my sewing box! I actually work on it regularly now, like nearly every evening, rather than dreading having to pilfer through the messy carton looking for what […]

Mad Dash

Posted on March 7, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash, My Patterns

I have a new pattern to introduce to you today! I’ve been working on this for a very long time. It was a hard one to write. In fact, when I made the first quilt, I never intended to turn it into a pattern — I was making it just for myself. However, once other […]

Some Recent Finishes

Posted on March 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I was planning to write a post about things I’ve been working on, then I realized that there are so many things, the post would be way too long, so I’m splitting this up into three separate posts: things I’ve finished, things I’m working on, and new things I’ve started this year (yep, way too […]

Let’s talk quilting business expenses today, shall we? If you have a quilting business, then legitimate expenses are a HUGE part of it. To turn a profit, your expenses need to be less than your income, but in the very beginning of your business, the expenses may outweigh the income until you get established. While […]

So how did you do in the short month? I guess I did more sewing than I thought, because I ended up with a total of 185 this month! Here’s a bit of what I worked on: I joined in the #perfectpineappleqal on IG, being hosted by Amber at Gigi’s Thimble. I’ve had this quilt […]
