A Crown Royal Quilt

Posted on February 22, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

My bestie, Victoria, says “Never say ‘Never say never’, or that’s the thing you will end up doing!” And turns out, it is so true. I used to say I never wanted to make a Log Cabin quilt, but I’ve made several, and am working on one right now! I also said I never wanted […]

Hibernation Sewing

Posted on February 16, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Studio News

It’s been bitter cold and snowy here, and altho we don’t have it near as bad as folks further north, I still don’t like it much! We’re finally gonna have a high temperature above 0 degrees today for the first time in days, even tho as I write this, it’s still only -4 out. But […]

February Organizing Task One

Posted on February 10, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

OK, here we go with our first Studio Organizing Challenge of February! I’m still feeling like I was a bit hard on us with the Final Countdown this year, but I also feel like it did me more good than ever, so it was worth it. Things might finally be clicking and falling into place […]

My Organizing Journey

Posted on February 2, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Organizing just comes naturally to some people — like my grandmother, who passed the gene on to my sister, while skipping over my mother and me. My sister is more like our grandmother, and I’m more like our mother. I’m super organized about some things, but other things just escape me. I’d love to be […]

Already a month gone of this new year we’ve been given! I spent the entire sewing portion of my month working on cleaning up old projects and running the longarm. This is shaping up to be the Year of Really Intense Custom Quilting in the longarm area of my business. I need some easy sewing […]

The State of the Table, January 2021

Posted on January 28, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Thought I’d pop on today and show you a bit of what I’ve been working on lately. I can’t always show what I’m working on, since a lot of it is “secret sewing”, so when I have a chance to share, I’m gonna take it! During The Final Countdown, I cleared my cutting table off […]

Last Call

Posted on January 26, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I’m fixin’ to start sewing my Signature blocks together that I collected last year! I’m too curious to see how they’re gonna look to leave them laying around in the bag much longer. Plus, it’s giving me a way to “start something new” without actually starting something “new”. Teehee! See how I pulled that off, […]

January Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on January 21, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

January is about to get away from me. I decided to finish my kitchen remodel in December, and naturally, it ran over into January, so I’m still struggling to finish that up, along with all the regular things going on around here, and a more-than-full schedule of customer quilts to longarm. So here it is, […]

Sheryl’s Labyrinth Quilt

Posted on January 19, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

I recently quilted this GIANT quilt for my friend, Sheryl. It’s 118″ square, and barely fit on my longarm frame! The pattern is called “Labyrinth”, by Debbie Maddy of Calico Carriage Quilt Designs. Sheryl made this quilt for her sister, and asked me to custom quilt it for her. Since the colors are very basic, […]

The 350 Blocks Project, 2021

Posted on January 15, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

The TENTH ANNUAL VERSION! Can you believe it? Seriously, where does the time go? I’ve been tracking my block making for 9 years, and I had to go back and look to see how many I’ve made in that time. Any guesses as to what my 9-year total is? I’ll tell you at the […]
