December Studio Organizing Challenge

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

One last chance for an Organizing Challenge this year! But never fear — we WILL be doing The Final Countdown again, so tune in on the last three days of 2019 for that. I didn’t get done with last month’s challenge, as usual, and the main reason is because I cannot find the staple gun […]

November 350 Blocks Report

Posted on December 3, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Is it December 3rd already??? Sorry I’m late with this month’s post, but I took a few days off over Thanksgiving. I had some other things to do that did not involve quilting or the computer. And now I’m struggling to get back at it. I can’t believe there are only a few days left […]

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 […]

As Usual, No Fanfare

Posted on October 11, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Give-Aways, Studio News

Back in June, it was the 10th anniversary of the start of my blog! I let it slip by without noticing. I woke up in the middle of the night last night, thinking about longarm quilting (am I the ONLY one who does that?), and suddenly realized I’ve been at it for over 10 years! […]

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 […]

Posted on September 23, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

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 […]
