Studio Organizing, Week 32

Posted on August 6, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Wow! Only 20 more weeks to go after this one! I need to step up my game. Someone who was looking at my blog for the first time, saw the post that said “Studio Organizing, Week 27”, and remarked: “It’s taking you 27 weeks to organize your studio!?!?!” I had to laugh. My reply was: […]

Grandma’s Lone Star

Posted on August 5, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

I have a very, very dear friend named Brandon. One of the reasons we’re such good friends is because we share the same sense of humor! We used to work together, and occasionally, he’d see me working on a quilt over my lunch hour. And he’d name it for me. The name always began with […]

July 350 Blocks Report

Posted on July 31, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Were you too busy with summer to make as many blocks this month? I actually did some better because I went to a retreat, and sewed like the wind. I got 42 done to add to my total for this month. One of them was this block, which is Block 6 of the Hazel’s Diary […]

Studio Organizing, Week 31

Posted on July 30, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you get your scraps under control last week? I think mine are winning the battle around here — I did sort and cut a few, but I have a long way to go! I cut a lot of strips for my locker-hooked rug this week — now I can just work away without having […]

Studio Organizing, Week 30

Posted on July 23, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Whew! Thursday again already! That week sure flew by fast. I swear I worked on my cutting table mess, but it doesn’t really look like it: Seriously, most of that is stuff I’m working on. In another week, it’ll still be loaded with stuff I’m working on, but it will look entirely different! I did […]

A Special Weekend

Posted on July 16, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Travels

With some very special friends. Every summer, I get together with a group of very special ladies at Gruber’s Quilt Shop’s Retreat Center in Waite Park, Minnesota. Last weekend was our retreat for this year, and it was so much fun. I always come home completely exhausted, but it’s so worth it! There’s always lots […]

Studio Organizing, Week 29

Posted on July 16, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Since My Cowboy was a bit under the weather the last few days, I didn’t ask him to fix my shelves. However, something big did get fixed! This is our third summer living here, and our air conditioner has never worked. We’ve had it worked on, but to no avail — until now. Third time’s […]

Studio Organizing, Week 28

Posted on July 9, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

So, how did you do organizing your UFOs? I managed to locate a few more, and my list is up to 96 at this point. I’m telling myself it has to get worse before it can get better. I’m also very close to finishing one, so even if I find another one this week, my […]

Studio Organizing, Week 27

Posted on July 2, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Last week’s task was a good one for me. I’m an expert list maker — it was right up my alley! And boy, did I make lists! I went through all my current lists and got them all updated. I made a new list of things I need and want to get done during July. […]

June 350 Blocks Report

Posted on July 1, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Summer is getting away from me. Heck, the entire year is getting away from me — today starts the second half of 2015! I barely did better than last month this time. I managed to make 2 blocks all month. They were for my Sew Sisters Bee — one for Terri: And one I’m keeping […]
