Keep On Going

Posted on February 4, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

It’s been one month since we wrapped up The Final Countdown. Normally, I lose momentum on the tasks I don’t get finished, and move on to something else, as it is my flitting nature to do. But this year, I really, really want to get my paper under control, and my projects all organized, so […]

January 350 Blocks Report

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

January is always the easy month. Since we don’t really get the Project officially kicked off until mid-month, we can sort of just ease into the block making every year, and I sure needed that this year. And our goal was only 15 blocks. And guess what? I still didn’t make the goal! If not […]

Posted on January 30, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Handstitching

Last year I committed to trying (and should have been committed for trying) 365 Days of Handstitching. It wasn’t easy. I ended up doing hand stitching on 286 days of 2019. I missed 79 days. But I finished 35 projects because of it! I hand stitched the binding on the backs of 22 quilts, finished […]

Snowballs!

Posted on January 24, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Quilts

A perfect day to talk about snowballs, since this is the view out my studio window this morning. Ranger doesn’t know it yet, but that hay he’s looking at longingly is just about to get moved across the fence for him and Wyatt! They will love it. But the snowballs I really want to talk […]

January Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on January 21, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I didn’t get as much done during The Final Countdown as I would have liked, due to some tight deadlines. Those deadlines are met and passed, but now I have more deadlines to meet by the end of this month, so it’s really not getting better for me, as far as finding time to get […]

News From the Studio, Episode 1758

Posted on January 20, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

Three weeks into the new year. And I’m not off to a real great start, I must say. On January 2nd, My Cowboy was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. Just one more horrible thing to add to his already long list of incurable ailments. And more pills to take. On the 6th, we both got […]

Are you ready for the 9th annual 350 Blocks Project? My, how time flies! I’m not changing the rules at all for this year. It’s been working well, and I need to keep it simple. So if you’ve done this before, you know what to expect, but I’m hoping we get lots of new folks […]

11th Annual Final Countdown Winners

Posted on January 4, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Wow! You guys worked hard this time! I can’t even imagine how much paper got recycled among us in the last few days! I cleaned out one file drawer, started on the second one (I only have 3 altogether), and then went to work on the piles that are already out. Because one of my […]

My 2020 Project List

Posted on January 3, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Lists

My yearly list of 12 things. Last year, I was super overly ambitious. I knew it was at the time, and you all warned me, but I was pie-in-the-sky hopeful about it. Here’s what it was: I did finish my 36-Patch quilt: I made 16 pillowcases, and still have umpteen more cut out, so I […]
