Creativity Challenge #20

Posted on June 10, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

Yep, I skipped another week. I hope you still did something creative. I’m creative every day, it’s just that most days, that creativity is simply a LOT of sewing and quilting. The purpose of these challenges is to get me to be creative in ways I wouldn’t normally. And I seem to be a bit […]

Studio Organizing, Week 23

Posted on June 6, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Wow! My blog has been booooring lately! That’s what happens when I get too busy. No time for anything extra, just nose to the grindstone — I’m ready for a break, but it won’t happen just yet. You may notice I skipped posting an organizing task for Week 22? Last Monday was a holiday, so […]

May 350 Blocks Report

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

I traveled a lot during the month of May, and when I wasn’t traveling, I was either at the longarm working on customer quilts or getting ready for the travels so I knew this month would not be a good one for me getting many blocks done. And I was right: ZERO is my total […]

Creativity Challenge #19

Posted on May 26, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

Yep, I skipped another week last week. Consider it another chance to catch up on past challenges, or do your own thing. I was traveling — I was in Salt Lake City for Quilt Market, which was a whirlwind of fun. And now that I’m back home, I’m still tired but back at it anyway. […]

I hope there was lots of organizing of all sorts going on last week with all of you. I’m about to get current on my paperwork, so I’m calling it a win. And it’s time already for yet another task! I’m tired just thinking about it. However, I must move forward. How about you? This […]

Studio Organizing, Week 20

Posted on May 16, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Are things looking any neater around your sewing room? I spent several 15-minute sessions of putting things away last week, only to realize how many more of those I actually need! It’s like working in the scraps — I worked and worked, and you can’t tell I did anything! Another thing I realized is that […]

Creativity Challenge #18

Posted on May 12, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

Were you able to think of something you don’t particularly care for to illustrate? I had no problem coming up with subject matter — the hard part was choosing which one! In the end, I chose this little guy: This little guy came slithering out from under my bathtub one fine sunny day, and we […]

Studio Organizing, Week 19

Posted on May 10, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I’m hoping that you’re all going to tell me that lots of UFOs got finished last week. Are you? I managed to work on one of mine. Not the one I thought I was going to, but one that is way older than that. I really thought I was gonna get it done, too, but […]

Creativity Challenge #17

Posted on May 5, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

I had fun with this past week’s challenge. I only wish I had had more time to do more of it! How did you do? I started a marker drawing with Sharpies (my go-to markers). I’ll be working on this one off and on for awhile, just like a lot of my other drawings and […]

Susan’s Bridal Staircase

Posted on May 3, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, Quilts

I love being a longarm quilter, but never more than when I get to finish a vintage quilt top for a customer. It does my heart good to know that a forgotten unfinished quilt top is finally getting its turn at becoming a finished quilt that can be used and loved. I’ve done several recently, […]
