February Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on February 25, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Wow! Only four days left in this month. But every day is one day closer to spring! Hard to believe it’s already time for another organizing task. We had one day that got into the high 60s a few days ago, and the spring cleaning bug evidently bit me, cos I cleaned my entire longarm […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1927

Posted on February 20, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

Christi reminded me that I haven’t posted about the goats and pets for a while now, and she’s right, so I figured I’d better update you all on the State of the Ranch! My Cowboy has not let me out of the house much since the first of the year. We got a lot of […]

February Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on February 10, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, did you get a closet or a cabinet cleaned out? My confession: epic fail. Never even opened the door on that closet! What I DID do is up-end my entire fabric organization system and start re-doing it. And I’m gonna have to keep working on it till it’s done because I have it scattered […]

Tuesday Afternoons

Posted on February 9, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

Many years ago, when I had a job other than quilting, we would have a staff meeting every Tuesday afternoon. I won’t go into my true opinion about said staff meetings, but I will say that I used to get in trouble for doodling during those meetings. And that is where this quilt design was […]

January 350 Blocks Report

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

I should have posted this yesterday, but I was out running around like a squirrel preparing for winter, since we’re supposedly in for a huge winter storm in the next few days. Hopefully, it won’t get as bad as predicted, but at least we’re ready now. And if it does, it’s just completely rude, because […]

Tootin’ Yer Horn

Posted on January 27, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilting For Hire

Something I generally have a bit of trouble with. No one likes a braggart, and I don’t like being one. Sharing useful information, however, is another matter, so NOT showing and telling things about yourself and what you are doing can also be considered selfish, in a way. I think God intends for us to […]

January Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on January 25, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

So . . . How many things were you able to get rid of in the last two weeks? I lost track, once I got past 14, since that was the goal, but it sure felt good to get rid of the stuff! I shipped out 5 Comfort quilts, finished 3 customer quilts and sent […]

The 350 Blocks Project, 2022

Posted on January 15, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, here we are again! This makes the ELEVENTH ANNUAL! More than 10 years of block making. You’d think I’d have more finished quilts to show for it — eek! I do actually have a larger to-be-quilted pile than I had last January — shameful. I made us a new graphic — I was tired […]

Taking The Leap

Posted on January 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilting For Hire

Twenty-three years ago today, I started my little pattern company in my sewing room, while also working a full-time job as a computer technician. Since I did it from my own studio in my spare time, it wasn’t super scary, and I started out very, very small. I simply wanted to be able to sell […]

January Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on January 10, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Here we are, ready to kick off a year of Studio Organizing Challenges yet again — this is my 8th year of offering up these challenges! Where does the time go? And how, after 7 years, am I still not organized? Haha! I can tell you why: It’s because organizing is pretty much never done […]
