Studio Organizing, Week 18

Posted on May 2, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Last week I did way more paperwork than I wanted to, and I’m not really sure I made a dent in it. I did get my planner cleaned out and re-organized, something I like to do once a quarter — make sure I haven’t dropped the ball on something, get everything updated, add in any […]

Wow! The end of April sure snuck up on me! I made a whoppin’ SIX blocks this month! I hope you all did better than I did. I finally managed to make a second block for The Splendid Sampler. I’m a tidget behind, but since I’m not making every block, I’m not as behind as […]

Creativity Challenge #16

Posted on April 29, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

I’m starting to lose track of the days again. I totally missed that yesterday was Thursday. Can you tell it’s deadline season around here? I’m operating in a bit of a panic mode these days. I feel like I don’t even really have time to be creative. That right there is one of the reasons […]

Studio Organizing, Week 17

Posted on April 25, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you find plenty to do last week? I cleaned off half of my cutting table, altho you already can’t tell that I did it! And since I was traveling, but had my computer with me, I cleaned off a few computer files. I’m trying to get my email inbox to zero, which is proving […]

Studio Organizing, Week 16

Posted on April 18, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I got a little carried away with last week’s task, but in a good way! If you’re following along with the Creativity Challenges, you will have noticed that I challenged myself (and anyone joining me) to set up a space or an organized area to do art. I decided that the counter in my office […]

Creativity Challenge #15

Posted on April 15, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

How did last week go? Did you stake your claim to a creative space, even if just a small one? I’m happy to report that I’m set up. It took me one entire day of sorting, chucking, cleaning, and rearranging, but I got the countertop in my office cleaned off, and for now, I’ll also be […]

Studio Organizing, Week 15

Posted on April 12, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I’m sure you all got your scraps completely tamed last week, right? I worked on mine some more, but all the scrap taming has now led to another problem . . . Some of my bins of pre-cut squares are now so full that the lids will no longer fit! So I pulled out — […]

My Tile Quilt

Posted on April 9, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Last year I had the opportunity to make my first pilgrimage to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. I went with my friend, Edie McGinnis, so that we could see our mutual friend, Victoria, while she was there teaching, and also see her exhibit of quilts the museum had hanging. Naturally, […]

Did you have fun coloring last week? I didn’t get much time, but I colored for a few minutes. Here’s the evolution of my crayon doodle that I started in Creativity Challenge #6: Still not done, but getting closer. Time really gets away from me! I noticed something this past couple weeks that made me […]

Studio Organizing, Week 14

Posted on April 4, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you find plenty to organize last week? I’m not doing so well. I feel like I’m making a bigger mess than any I’m cleaning up at the moment. So this week, I’m going back to one of the things that annoys me the most, and I’d really like to get under control: Work on […]
