April 350 Blocks Report

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

We had a fairly typical April. Some rain, some snow, some warm, some cold, some clouds, some sun, lots of wind, a whole flock of new baby goats (and some kittens)! And the month seemed to go quite quickly, altho I know for some of you, it probably seemed interminable because of the stay-at-home orders. […]

Comfort Quilts

Posted on April 27, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I’m back today to show you a few quilts I finished back in March. But I only just finished the binding on all of them last week. I took them out and pinned them to the fence around the goat pen Saturday morning. We finally had a day that wasn’t so windy. Had I tried […]

Miracle Cake

Posted on April 23, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

When I mentioned making this cake a few posts ago, I couldn’t believe that I didn’t already have the recipe posted — it’s so easy and fast. It’s a good one for when you want something easy in a hurry. And simple ingredients that you probably always have on hand (or should). And it’s chocolate […]

It’s Cowboy Poetry Week!

Posted on April 22, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

All week this week. Usually, local libraries get in on the action, but they’re all closed this year. But that shouldn’t stop you from looking it up online and getting a little taste. Their web site, cowboypoetry.com, has lots of info, and their Facebook page has lots going on, especially this week. Or visit their […]

April Studio Organizing Challenge

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

It’s time once again for a Studio Organizing Challenge . . . I’m still working on paper organizing, my design wall only has 3 projects on it, all of which I’m currently working on, and I’m still sorting through the scraps a little bit every day. I really wanted to make this month’s challenge all […]

Stars and Orphans

Posted on April 13, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I’m back to show you another couple finishes from earlier this year. I’m really on a finishing spree, I tell you! I have GOT to get this mess under control. And I have to say, it feels really good to get some older UFOs off my plate. I showed a photo of the current state […]

Cowboys and Pineapples

Posted on April 9, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

It’s high time I showed you a couple quilts I finished back last year. Yes, back in 2019, which already seems eons ago, right? I could never get any pictures because the weather was so bad, and if the weather was tolerable, the wind was blowing 50 miles an hour, much like today — it’s […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1776

Posted on April 7, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

Well, I accidentally took today off! The world just kinda caught up to me all at once, and it turned out to be too much for me. Even tho it’s been a beautiful day out, I went back to bed and buried my head under the covers. One week ago yesterday, I came in from […]

March 350 Blocks Report

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

Well, I have to say that the tracking sheets I presented early on this year have really been helping me keep better records of the blocks I’m making. Even if I forget to add something to the list, I’m at least able to look back at past months and see if I’ve already counted something, […]

Meal Planning, Part 2

Posted on March 25, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

Well, it’s been over 2 months of me doing all the cooking . . . and meal planning . . . and grocery shopping . . . and it’s actually working out OK. I’ve been choosing things that are relatively quick and simple to make, so that I’m not spending all my time in the […]
