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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Brunswick Forest, Block Five

Posted on January 8, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Brunswick Forest

This week, if you’re participating, you’re getting Block Five of your Brunswick Forest BOM — and this time, the tree is called Evergreen. This is one of my favorite blocks in the quilt. I’m sort of trying to decide which one tree I’d like to make an entire quilt of — this one might be […]

Posted on January 7, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Time to announce the winners! Altho . . . I say we are ALL winners just for doing the tasks, because we now have a fresh start on the new year, and it always feels so good! Personally, I’m not a huge winner, because I failed at some of the tasks. I DID work on […]

Popping on today with some studio updates that don’t seem to fit in anywhere else. I never did get around to showing you some of the finished projects I completed last year, so here they are, in no particular order . . . A veteran’s quilt. This quilt was made from blocks that members of […]

Lists, Lists, and More Lists!

Posted on January 3, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Lists

I’m a list maker. I love my lists. And I have lots of them! I make new ones every month, but at the start of a new year, I always make more. And I usually have way grander ideas of what I can get done than what I can actually accomplish! In addition to new […]
