Gina’s Nine-Patch Challenge

Posted on January 4, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

Last fall, I quilted a quilt for a friend and customer, Gina. (I think it’s great that so many of my customers are also my friends!) Gina received a bunch of 9-patch blocks from a group challenge, and this is what she did with hers! She sure made them go far — this quilt is […]

Posted on December 31, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Wow! That went fast! It’s Day 3 already! I’m still working on Tasks One and Two both. Still putting away fabric (because as I’m cleaning flat surfaces, I keep finding more), and I’m still working on clearing the flat surfaces. I worked hard on it yesterday, tho, and I’m highly encouraged by how much better […]

2016 Final Countdown, Task Two

Posted on December 30, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

How did you do yesterday? Are you still working on your stash? I am. I’m working on scraps daily, and will be for awhile. The sad thing is, I keep finding big pieces among the scraps that should go into the bins, but the bins are all full, so I have an overflow box for […]

Posted on December 27, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

As I had hoped, I learned several things during this year of Creativity Challenges. Some of them I already knew, but simply needed to be reminded of. If you took on any of the challenges, I hope you got something out of them, too. I’ll share with you a few of my own observations. Please […]

Studio Organizing, Week 51

Posted on December 19, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Only two weeks left to get organized for a fresh start on the New Year. At least, that’s usually my plan. Try to get organized so I’ll have a fresh start on the New Year. It hardly ever works out the way I can see it in my head. It’s a fresh start all right, but […]

Sugar Cookie Frosting

Posted on December 17, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

I’m afraid this post is gonna make me give in and go bake some sugar cookies, especially since we’re right in the middle of an ice storm, so it’s a good day for baking. My hips don’t need cookies, but I’m posting this recipe anyway. I love my Aunt Ruby’s Sugar Cookies recipe, and over […]
