August 350 Blocks Report

Posted on August 31, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Tomorrow begins my two favorite months of the year! But I really can’t believe we’re at this point already! My truck is in the shop getting a new set of tires just in time for winter. The current set lasted me THREE years, which I believe is a record, but is also a testament to […]

August Studio Organizing, Task Two

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

It’s time once again for another Studio Organizing Challenge. How did that happen so fast? I’ve been working on both my cutting table AND my scraps since I issued the last challenge, but things are not better. The scrap basket is even fuller (because as I was putting random things away, I found more scraps […]

Posted on August 15, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Arrow Rock Sampler

We’re at the halfway point already — can you believe it? I have really liked seeing all the completed blocks popping up in the Facebook group. It’s so fun to look at other people’s scraps and how they use them! This month gives you three more blocks. One of them is this cute little Bluebell. […]

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

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 […]
