The 100 Day Project

Posted on April 7, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

Over on Instagram, @elleluna and @lindsayjeanthomson are hosting #The100DayProject. I love the idea of 100 days for doing something, and I’ve written about how I use 100-day segments for accomplishing things before (click HERE to read about it). So I’ve decided to join in on this Instagram challenge, too. You pick something that you plan […]

Lynx Fur Ewe

Posted on April 5, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration

I kinda probly need to stay off the computer, and I’d get more work done, but there are just so many cute projects out there! Clever and pretty ways to use up scraps, which I’m on a mission to do. Free patterns that look like they’d be fun to make. And quilt-alongs I can barely […]

A Day in the Life

Posted on April 4, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

So far today, I’ve: • Helped with morning chores. • Ate breakfast and made coffee (necessary before going any further). • Helped sort and unload cattle (in ankle-deep mud). • Spent time in the goat pen. You see, I have all these darling little babies to play with, and I really feel like just moving […]

March 350 Blocks Report

Posted on March 31, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

I’ve been severely unmotivated this past month. I spent the first whole week in California with my daughters, on vacation for the most part, and it always takes me a while to recover from a vacation — haha! If it weren’t for my guild’s retreat this month, I’m not sure I’d have gotten any sewing […]

Loose Interpretation

Posted on March 23, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Stash Tales

Or I could say, Interpretation on the Loose! Back at the end of last year, when I was reorganizing all my fabric bins, and lamenting the fact that I couldn’t get all my fabric to fit into the bins, I made the goal of not buying any more fabric unless it was something that is […]

My guild, the Pecan Valley Quilt Guild, had their Spring Retreat last weekend, and boy, do we ever have fun! We gather at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop’s Retreat Center, and we always have fantastic food, lots of games and prizes, and there was even a St. Patrick’s Day parade right outside the door! They were […]

St. Patty’s Day!

Posted on March 17, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Miscellaneous

I’m at a retreat at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop with all my guild peeps! We’re having fun, and getting a lot of eating sewing done. (I’ll try to remember to post some pictures of what I’m working on on my Instagram page @prairiemoonquilts, if you want to follow me there.) The weather is fantastic, and I […]

Cotton and Chocolate Quilt Company

Posted on March 15, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Travels

I recently visited California for two weeks to spend time with my daughters, and while I was out there, I made plans to go visit Cotton and Chocolate Quilt Company in Thousand Oaks. Cotton and Chocolate was voted one of the Top Ten Quilt Shops in American Patchwork and Quilting’s Quilt Sampler magazine, and after […]

Scrappy Patches Block Tutorial

Posted on March 2, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Tutorials

If you read the post about my Scrap Storage Method, then you know that I have several bins of pre-cut shapes and sizes. If you take into account that I’ve been doing this for years, it stands to reason that some of the bins are getting full, and some of them, the lids will no longer […]
