Brunswick Forest

Posted on August 14, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Brunswick Forest, My Patterns

It’s here! The new Block-of-the-Month for Sew Sweet Quilt Shop! This year’s quilt is a sampler of trees, hence the name Brunswick Forest. Twelve different tree blocks, set into an asymmetrical setting, just as a forest would actually be. As always, we do two versions of the quilt, just for more options. Here is the […]

August Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on August 11, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I’m struggling to keep up with what day it is, which, around here, is a bad thing, because My Cowboy doesn’t have any idea, either. He got up early and went to the doctor last Thursday, walked in, and they just kind of stared at him like, “Can I help you?” He told them he […]

A Nautical Gift

Posted on August 6, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, Quilts

My Uncle Larry is a boat captain. He became a boat captain after retiring, and for a time, he even lived on his boat, the Hyde-Aweigh. Uncle Larry is the last surviving member of my mother’s family. He’s the baby, and he just celebrated his 80th birthday last week! Since he no longer lives on […]

July 350 Blocks Report

Posted on August 1, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

I’d like to say that I got a lot of sewing done this month because the heat kept me inside in the air conditioning, but since our AC is broken, and I’m scrambling to finish up my next BOM program, I’ve actually been doing a full Sweat ‘n’ Sew daily routine, and not in the […]

Cold Drinks for Hot Days

Posted on July 30, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

It’s been hot here, but not even as hot as some of you have had it, and wasn’t I complaining about the cold back in the winter? Why can’t it just stay between 55 and 75 degrees year round? Whine, whine . . . It’s worse for us this summer because our air conditioner is […]

July Studio Organizing, Task One

Posted on July 12, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

The tasks feel like they’re all starting to run together — I guess it’s just that time of year. I’m in overwhelm mode and can’t seem to get out of it. As for my sewing machine cleaning . . . well, I just managed to finish that over the weekend. Since I hadn’t been using […]

June 350 Blocks Report

Posted on July 1, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, it’s a good thing I’ve previously had a couple of good block-making months, because this past month was definitely not one of them! I ended up with a total of 9 for June. Here are two of them: I also made 5 little Churn Dash blocks, and got a 2-block start on the new […]

June Studio Organizing, Task Two

Posted on June 25, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you have fun with that last challenge? I obviously took it super seriously, because I started FIVE new projects in the last two weeks! The one I intended to start using this bundle is in the boring stages still, because all I’ve managed to do so far is cut some of the white background pieces. […]
