October Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on October 15, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Full into fall, halfway through October already! We’ve had gorgeous weather, and I’m hoping for it to continue a lot longer. It’s supposed to get cold tonight, but still warm back up again, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a really, really long fall. I’d really like to not have to turn my furnace […]

September 350 Blocks Report

Posted on September 30, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

In September, I challenged myself to run the longarm every single day. I’m trying to keep from getting any further behind on customer quilts, and there will invariably be a quilt or two that always takes me way longer to quilt than I think it will. And if I can quilt for a few hours […]

Posted on September 23, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

Yes, it’s already that time again! That magical day when there are only 100 days left in the year! And fall has officially begun. Time for me to once again make my list of “100 Things To Do In The Next 100 Days”. I find that I’m usually too completely pie-in-the-sky with my lists, so […]

September Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on September 15, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on August 31, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, that went fast! Do I say that every month? Schools are back in session — it seemed weird to see the school bus go past the house after 5 months of not seeing it. Fall is getting closer. We’ve been having gorgeous weather. We are heading into my two favorite months of the year. […]

Arrow Rock Sampler: Month 4

Posted on August 25, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Arrow Rock Sampler

I’m seriously having a really hard time keeping track of what day it is. I guess it doesn’t matter, since mine are all pretty much alike . . . until it comes to a deadline . . . and I’ve thrown off my entire August schedule because I got stuck back in the first week […]

Loretta’s Farm and Garden Samplers

Posted on August 21, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Loretta's Samplers

It’s finally here! I know some of you have been asking about it. I’m seriously late with it this year. But when you see the quilts, you might understand why. It’s the new Sew Sweet Block-of-the-Month quilts! This year, they’re called Loretta’s Farm and Garden Samplers — one farm, one garden . . . named […]
