Studio Organizing, Week 45

Posted on November 8, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you have fun rebooting an area in your space? I actually got way more done than I thought I would. I had to take three days off work to do it, but I’m very pleased with my progress, and hope I can keep the momentum going. Here’s a list of some of the things […]

Aunt Ruby’s Pie Crust

Posted on November 4, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

My Great-Aunt Ruby always made the best pie crust. I’ve been asked for my pie crust recipe many times, and all the credit goes to Aunt Ruby, because the recipe I use is hers. I realized the other day that I hadn’t yet posted this recipe, so today I present to you: Aunt Ruby’s Pie Crust […]

October 350 Blocks Report

Posted on November 1, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Were it not for the retreat I attended this past weekend, my block count for this month would not be as high. How did you all do? I came up with a total of 32 for this month, and all but two of them were made AT the retreat! Good thing I went! I made […]

Happy Halloween!

Posted on October 31, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts

I made a Halloween quilt over the weekend while I was at a retreat with some friends. Getting good pictures without My Cowboy’s help is nearly impossible, too. It’s a dreary, breezy day outside, and sort of misting. Perfect for Halloween, I guess, and at least it’s not cold! I had purchased this assortment of Halloween […]

Sandra’s Metro Rings Quilt

Posted on October 25, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, Quilts

I recently had the honor of quilting for my friend, Sandra. She made a Metro Rings quilt for her son and his new wife, as their wedding quilt. It’s made in 30s reproductions fabrics, and it is simply gorgeous! Sandra made this quilt for their bed, so she made the center portion of the quilt […]

Studio Organizing, Week 43

Posted on October 24, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Has all the wayward fabric been tamed? I gave us a couple extra weeks to get it done (unknowingly — I lost a week somehow and didn’t post), and guess what? Mine still isn’t much better. In fact, I think I drug out even more without putting any away. I can’t seem to stay home […]

Creativity Challenge #27

Posted on October 20, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

It’s way past time for a new Creativity Challenge. Truth be told, there’s not been a lot of creativity going on around here lately. It’s been nose-to-the-grindstone meet-the-deadlines long work days around here, leaving no time for anything extra like sitting down with watercolors or getting out the sketch pad (or playing with my goats and […]

Chariton Samplers

Posted on October 12, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

This is my third year in a row designing the Block-of-the-Month quilts for Sew Sweet Quilt Shop’s annual Saturday Sampler club. This year’s club is called “It Takes Five!”, and I once again designed a sampler quilt in a traditional version and another in a more modern version. Here’s the Traditional version, Chariton Sampler. The traditional version […]

Studio Organizing, Week 40

Posted on October 3, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

It’s been well over a month since I posted an organizing task! It’s been well over a month since I did any organizing, too. Deadlines got the best of me, and time has a way of getting away from me really quickly. How about you? I’m back today, however, with a new organizing task. That […]

September 350 Blocks Report

Posted on September 30, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project, Quotes

I’ve not been keeping a very careful tally of my blocks lately. Truth be told, I haven’t used my sewing machine an awful lot. I’ve mostly been at the longarm. And I’m still way behind at that! I nearly re-counted blocks I had already counted, and have been hard pressed to remember exactly what I […]
