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 […]

Memorial Day

Posted on May 30, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I actually know what day it is today! It’s Monday, and it’s Memorial Day. I hope you’re taking time out to remember those we’ve lost, those who’ve served, and those who are still serving. It’s important. I guess that’s why it’s a national holiday, right? Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts is featuring her “Made […]

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 […]

From the Desk of T-Rex

Posted on May 20, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

The saga of the broken elbow continues . . . It’s been a long haul. Nearly nine months since I very un-gracefully changed my life in the blink of an eye! Are you sick of hearing about it? I’m sure sick of talking about it, but it seems to want to consume my life right […]

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 […]

Brunswick Forest, Block Nine

Posted on May 14, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Brunswick Forest

We’re nearing the end! Only three more blocks after this one. Block Nine is called Tennessee Pine. Although it does have triangles, they’re a bit larger, so therefore, you won’t need as many, and they’ll be a bit easier to work with. Here’s my fall-colored version. I was kinda hoping my gold print would give […]

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 […]
