16th Annual Final Countdown

Posted on December 28, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Yes. 16th Annual. And even with a brand new studio, I’m still in dire need of continued organizing! I have to give myself credit. I did a LOT over the last two years to make some great progress. I downsized a lot, I built some good habits, and I worked hard to not make things […]

Matt & Cammie’s Wedding Quilt

Posted on December 16, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Back before we moved, I started working on this rustic-farm(ish)-country-scrappy quilt for some friends of ours who were getting married in June. I thought I’d have plenty of time to get it done in time for the wedding, but that was just me and my big pie-in-the-sky expectations, which are almost always unrealistic! So we […]

Bonnie Rose

Posted on December 6, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

Meet “Bonnie Rose” — the 2024 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Christmas Stocking! I name Bonnie Rose after my dear old horse, Bonnie. This year, I wanted a stocking that lets the fabric do a lot of the talking, so I chose a floral focal print for the body of the stocking. There’s still a bit […]

A Very Special Double Wedding Ring Quilt

Posted on December 3, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

The last couple months, I got to work on something very special . . . Over the last few years, I’ve been working with my cousin’s wife, Pam, to finish up all the quilting UFOs my Great-Aunt Jo left behind when she passed away. You can see most of them (and read their stories) HERE. […]

November 350 Blocks Report

Posted on November 30, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Can you believe it’s the end of November already?? We’re getting our first snow today: The goats are not impressed. The sheep and horses don’t even realize it’s snowing. And Shadow, the black lab, is loving every second of it! I think it’s pretty, as long as I don’t have to get out in it. […]

November Studio Organizing

Posted on November 20, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Is all your stray fabric put away from the last challenge? I have to say that mine is not, but I did make some progress. I simply haven’t had time to really work on it, even tho I try to take a few minutes every day for it. Evidently, a few minutes a day is […]

The Quilting Experience

Posted on November 14, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Longarm Quilting, Quilts, Reviews, Studio News

My bestie, Victoria Findlay Wolfe, has a new book out. It actually came out in September, but I took time to read all the way through mine before posting about it. It’s so wonderful! It’s called “The Quilting Experience: A Celebration of Community and Patchwork Patterns”. This book is a lovely, hard-cover book with soooo […]

Last year’s mystery quilt at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop wrapped up back in August/September, but I’m only just now finding time to post about it here! If you participated in their mystery program, then you know what the quilt looks like. But for those of you who did not, here’s the big reveal! Jessica chose […]

October 350 Blocks Report

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

Whew! I sewed like the wind this past month. I know I sure did go through a lot of bobbins — but I had deadlines, and that always spurs me to action. I ended up with 187 blocks, and that’s not counting one set that I’m waiting to count until I’m done so I don’t […]

October Studio Organizing

Posted on October 22, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Altho I haven’t actually taken the time to sit down and sew here yet, I did get my handwork table cleared off. Once I DO start working there, I expect it to stay about as clean as my cutting table does! (See the reflection of my design wall in the window? — since I took […]
