A Happy Surprise!

Posted on January 2, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals

Happy New Year to me! My Cowboy went out at chore time last night, and discovered that Blossom had twins during the afternoon! Blossom is my best nanny goat, the best mother, and never needs help, and prefers to be left alone, so it’s probably good I didn’t know she was having them so I […]

December 350 Blocks Report

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

The final Block Report of the year! How did you do? I’m unhappy to report that I did not make a single block this month. So my final month’s total is a big fat ZERO. I had big longarming goals, so I was at the longarm pretty much all my sewing time, and even then, […]

2019 Final Countdown Task Three

Posted on December 31, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Well, yesterday was one of those days. I found every possible way to procrastinate (such as these), and never even stepped foot into my sewing room. But in my defense, I do have some tight January longarm deadlines, so I spent my time running the longarm, and even tho I wanted to, I did not […]

2019 Final Countdown Task Two

Posted on December 30, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Yikes! I cleaned out a file drawer, started on another one, went through a pile of magazines, gathered all the paperwork I need to send to my accountant, sorted through a box of old patterns and passed the ones I didn’t want on to a friend, and found a place for the ones I want […]

Posted on December 29, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

I haven’t linked this in awhile, and it’s good for a laugh (the hair!), so go give this a listen to help get you in the mood for our Final Countdown! You’d think after eleven years of doing this, I wouldn’t need to do it any more, but alas, such is not the case. We’ll […]

The 11th Annual Final Countdown

Posted on December 28, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Well! That flew by, didn’t it? Another year — gone in a flash. We’re at the threshold of a new decade even, so that means it’s time to count down the final few days of 2019. I feel like I made better progress this past year than I did the year before, but how is […]

Craft in America on PBS is airing an episode on QUILTS! Tonight! You’ll have to check your local listings for the time. The episode features 4 quilters, each with a very different style, and also features the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, and some of the things they do. I think it’s wonderful […]

Rodeo Queen

Posted on December 25, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, What's New

Merry Christmas!! I realize I’m terribly late getting this year’s Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Boot Christmas Stocking published, but what better day than today to be late with it, huh? This year’s stocking is called “Rodeo Queen”. I’ve been wanting to make a mostly white stocking for several years, and Rodeo Queen is my attempt […]

It’s That Time of Year

Posted on December 17, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

The time of year for me to decide what type of planner I will use for the next year. I change it every year, and am still trying to find THE perfect planner for me. For 2016, I put together THIS planner, and I’ve used it ever since in some form or another. It has […]
