March 350 Blocks Report

Posted on March 31, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Was your March a busy month? Mine sure was. I’m ready for April, which might actually end up being busier than March! Did you make lots of blocks? I had another good month with 99 more to add to my total. I made the 9 large blocks for this quilt, which you can read more […]

How are your mini quilts coming along? Did you finish yours? Is it still in the works? Mine is not yet finished, but I have made progress. I won this little tiny wedge ruler at our guild’s retreat a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been wanting to try it out so much I decided to […]

Studio Organizing, Week 13

Posted on March 28, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t get the top of my cutting table under control. Believe it or not, it’s some better, but still . . . looks like a disaster struck! I’m still working on putting away the stuff that’s laying out and not supposed to be, but honestly, the rest of it […]

I hope you found last week’s task relaxing, and that it gave you some time to catch up, so you’ll be fresh for the next set of challenges. I have not yet added any color to my doodles, but I did sit a spell and add to my very first doodle I made for these […]

Studio Organizing, Week 12

Posted on March 22, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I completely missed that yesterday was Monday! I’ve been mostly gone from home since around noon last Wednesday for one thing or another (including a fun guild retreat), and I’ve lost track of the days! But I’ve been getting a lot of sewing done! I’ll have to give you an update on that a bit […]

How did you do with the poetry challenge? I’m not ready to show you mine just yet, but I will when it gets far enough along to look like something. As usual, I’m trying to overthink it, but I finally just forced myself to start. This is one of the things I’m trying to get […]

Studio Organizing, Week 11

Posted on March 14, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Is your sewing machine area much cleaner after last week’s task? While mine is much neater, I didn’t get to open up the cabinet. Just didn’t have any extra time for that last week, but maybe soon. This week’s task is brought on by a gift I received from My Cowboy: Organize your thread We […]

Creativity Challenge #10

Well, I have to say that once I got going, I sure went down a lot of rabbit trails with the poetry reading! It’s so easy to really get lost in some of it! My brain is full, or here’s a quote from an Emily Dickinson poem that fits: “I felt a clearing in my mind As […]

Studio Organizing, Week 10

Posted on March 7, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I’ve heard that a clean area is contagious, but now I’ve proven to myself that it’s true! When I got the area under and around the ironing board cleaned up, it made me want to continue on down that side of the room, so our mission for this week is to: Clean up the area […]

Creativity Challenge #9

Posted on March 3, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Creativity Challenges

Did you have fun last week revisiting and continuing work on some of the previous challenges? I got a little bit more done, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. I finally got my initial made out of barbed wire. My Cowboy had to help me, but he was patient, and I […]
