November Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on November 18, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I’ve skipped a few months on the organizing thing. But something about the weather turning always puts me back into organizing mode. I guess because I love to be cozy in the winter, and I can’t be cozy if things are in a mess. Winter is also my time to NOT travel as much, which […]

October 350 Blocks Report

Posted on October 31, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Oh, my gosh! What a whirlwind month of quilting! I had so little on my plate for the trade show (Quilt Market) this fall, I was resting on my laurels and feeling quite smug about it, and then all of a sudden — BAM! — along with quilting three quilts that had to be done, […]

Posted on October 28, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals, Prairie Moon Ranch

It’s been awhile since I posted a News From the Ranch episode. It’s been quite a year around here. Last time I updated, the snow was just getting over for spring, and now, we’re supposed to start getting snow again this week. I’m just not ready! But then, I’m never ready for snow — I […]

September 350 Blocks Report

Posted on September 30, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Last month we had fall weather, and this month has felt like July again! I think it’s the hottest September we’ve had in ages — whew! Mid-90s a lot of the time, and lots of storms, too. When I first realized it was time to write this post, I thought I didn’t have ANY blocks […]

Here we are again . . . September 23 . . . That magical day when there are only 100 days left in the year. Time for me to make another list of “100 Things To Do in the Next 100 Days”. I usually do three of these lists every year, but this year, I […]

The Happenstance Quilts Reveal

Posted on September 5, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Guild Stuff, Quilts

Back in February, I told you about my guild’s current mystery project we had going on, The Happenstance Quilts. I also showed you two options I had for doing mine. Well, I chose the Christmas option, and used this for my center block: I’ve never made an actual red and green Christmas quilt, so I […]

August 350 Blocks Report

Posted on August 31, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Labor Day weekend! How is this possible already!?? And this morning, I wore long sleeves. It’s August 31st, and it’s already cooling off like fall. My favorite time of year. But since it seems to be arriving a tad early, I’m wondering if it means we’re going to have a really cold winter, and I […]

August Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on August 16, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

June and July blew right by without me even so much as thinking about getting organized! And picking . . . picking is what I’ve been doing . . . on all the other challenges. I do just a little bit on each one, but nothing has been completely finished. I’ve put away a little […]

July 350 Blocks Report

Posted on July 31, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

I didn’t blog much this past month! Part of my problem is that it has suddenly become nearly impossible to get my photos from my iPad onto my computer. I have to fuss with it for way too long just to get it to work, and I haven’t had time to devote to that. But […]
