It’s a Great Day!

Posted on January 11, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

Twenty-six years ago today (in 1999), I launched my little business. So doesn’t that mean I just finished 25 years in business? I think that math is correct. So 25 years is a pretty big deal of an anniversary to celebrate, right? I’ve completely lost track of how many patterns I’ve published in that amount […]

16th Annual Final Countdown Wrap-up

Posted on January 7, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Well, that week has flown by! My year usually starts off a little calmer than this one has — I hope this isn’t a bad sign! But once again, we’re in the middle of real winter right now. We had two days of blowing snow, and now the bitter cold has set in. We’re just […]

Planner: v. 2025

Posted on January 6, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

It’s once again time to break open a new planner and see if it helps me get through my year! Last year, I used a planner from Planner Envy, and I loved it. I used nearly every drop of it, and it suited me very well. Because of that, I fully intended to just get […]

Just wanted to pop on today and tell you all how grateful I am that you continue to come here and look at my quilts and read my drivel every week. I really appreciate that you take the time to visit, read, and leave comments (in spite of how difficult reCaptcha makes it sometimes). I […]

Posted on December 31, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, here we are at the end of another year already! It’s kinda bittersweet that this is the final 350 Blocks Report I’ll be doing. I waffled all year about continuing, but I have decided to stick with my plan of 2024 being the last year for it. But never fear, I’m gonna be having […]

Well! Task Three already?! Did you make some good progress with the first two tasks? I did, and I’m hoping to give you a “new studio tour” shortly after the first of the year. Several of you have been asking, but I obviously haven’t been ready for that! But here we are at the last […]

2024 Final Countdown, Task Two

Posted on December 30, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Are you working on your sewing machine areas? I put away some scrap triangles and pressed some pieces I had laying there already sewn, but I still need to examine the drawers and clean up the dust bunnies during my next session. But it’s already time for Task Two! What you can’t see in the […]

2024 Final Countdown, Task One

Posted on December 29, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Each year, I try to pick tasks that I myself need to do to get a jump start on the new year coming up. And I always hope there are others out there, just like me, who also need to do these same tasks to get back on track. Lots of years, I’ve repeated some […]
