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 […]

Those Darned Expenses!

Posted on February 28, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilting For Hire

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 […]

February 350 Blocks Report

Posted on February 28, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

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 […]

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 […]

Just a Week Left!

Posted on February 23, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Necktie Social

I should have mentioned this sooner, but there’s still time . . . Remember THIS quilt? Here’s a picture of it . . . The Greensboro Woman’s Club is raffling it off to raise funds for a new roof for their meeting house. They do the most wonderful charitable works, and the house is their […]

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 […]

Brunswick Forest, Block Six

Posted on February 12, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Brunswick Forest

Here we are at the halfway point already! We’re having another break from the triangles this month. Block Six is called Tree of Temptation, and it uses three prints with the background instead of only two. Here’s Block 6 in the fall-colored version. Very nice fall colors in this one. Here’s the non-traditional color. I […]

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 […]
