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 […]

Brunswick Forest, Block Eleven

Posted on July 9, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Brunswick Forest

So close to the finish line! Only one more block after this one. By now, you’ve gotten used to all the triangles, and hopefully, you’ve begun work on your setting, regardless of which setting version you’ve chosen. Block Eleven is called Peach Tree, and it doesn’t have many triangles in it. It’s another one that […]

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 […]

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 […]

Brunswick Forest, Block Ten

Posted on June 11, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Brunswick Forest

Oh, the lovely Cypress tree! With their long, tall trunks and their soft, needly branches. I realize that “soft and needly” sounds like an oxymoron, but seriously! — have you ever petted a cypress tree? They’re actually quite soft. I love the way the wind sounds through them. They’re quite regal. The cypress tree is […]

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 […]
