It’s already time for the next Studio Organizing Challenge, and I’m still working on the last two! I spent quite a bit of time working on my fabric re-organization, but seriously, it doesn’t look a bit better than it did. And I’m using up quite a bit of it as I go, too. I’ve pieced […]

Summertime Dresser Scarf (and a correction)

Posted on April 13, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Summertime Sampler

Today I’m back with a bonus project that goes along with the Summertime Sampler Block-of-the-Month quilts — an embroidered dresser scarf! Before I get into that, however, another correction needs to be made to the booklet — yikes! I pride myself on not having mistakes in my patterns, but I guess pride goeth before a […]

Last Wednesday, my iron died. Yesterday, I bought a new one exactly like it. It’s a Shark . . . the most inexpensive model they make . . . and I love it. Yes, the old one died on me, but guess what? So has every other iron I’ve ever purchased, no matter how much […]

March 350 Blocks Report

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

Yeeeoooooooooooooowwwww! Another month done gone! (To paraphrase one of my favorite old songs by Bobby Bare: Marie Laveau) How was your month? We still had mostly horrible weather, but did have a few good days. Oddly, the warmer it got outside, the colder I felt inside — I think winter got into my bones this […]

My bestie, Victoria, just launched her first Block-of-the-Month quilt, and I couldn’t resist jumping in on it. It’s called Off The Cuff, and I had the honor of quilting two of the sample quilts for this BOM, the red one, and the light one, and it was hard to pick a favorite — I think […]

March Studio Organizing Challenge

Posted on March 15, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Aside from actually using a little bit more of my fabric, I made ZERO progress on getting it reorganized last month. So it’s still on my to-do list, and I hope to get to it soon, but here it is already time for another Studio Organizing Challenge! While I do intend to keep trying to […]
