February 350 Blocks Report

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

So did you make the most of your extra day in February to up your block count? Or were you busy trying to catch a husband? I had a great month of block making, surprising even myself — I made 106 blocks! I’m trying to participate in The Splendid Sampler, hosted by Pat Sloan and […]

Studio Organizing, Week 9

Posted on February 29, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Do you feel like you’re getting more organized, week by week? Sometimes I do, and sometimes I feel like I’m going backwards. Some of my organizing leads to bigger messes before things head the right direction! But that’s OK — I’ll eventually get there. I cleaned off a shelf this week, and was very proud […]

How’s your junk journal coming along? Mine is a mishmash of stuff so far, but that sorta fits me — haha! I’ll get some pictures soon and show you some of my progress. I’ve decided to take this week for a bit of catching up. I want to go back and devote some more time […]

Studio Organizing, Week 8

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

Did you eliminate an unnecessary stack of a mess last week? I wanted to choose a larger one to tackle, but I decided a small one was better than nothing, since I was short on time. And I’ve been tripping over this one for quite some time, so I’m glad to have it cleaned up. […]

Did you have fun playing with crayons? I did! And I’m gonna keep at it, too, it was so much fun. This week’s Creativity Challenge is a bit more of a “project”. We’re going to start something, but it might take a long time for it to be considered finished; however, lots of my other […]

Studio Organizing, Week 7

Did you get your sewing boxes all cleaned out and organized? Did you even need to do this task? Maybe I just gave some of you a week off, huh? Mine is much better. All that’s left in the bottom is my current applique block, and I found my spool of black thread! I’m all […]

How did you do with drawing an object last week? I finished only one of my trees, but I’m working on two others. Just like all the other doodles and drawings, they’ll be in progress for awhile. I’ll post some updates now and then. My Cowboy bought me a new sketch book! It’s 12″ x […]

Studio Organizing, Week 6

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

Did you clear out some space last week? I made a little progress. I can walk into my spare room now, and I know what’s actually in the room, which helps if I end up looking for something we still haven’t unpacked since the move! Uff! Long way to go yet! But it’s time for […]

Cowgirl Up!

Posted on February 7, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

I’ve added a couple new patterns to my Etsy shop in the last few days. One of them is this little cutie: I originally designed this quilt for the Cowgirl Club back in 2010 as a series quilt. Folks who were not in the Cowgirl Club have been begging me for the pattern ever since, […]
