The Rambling River Art Quilters

Posted on June 29, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Quotes, Travels

Last fall I got invited to a quilting retreat with a group called The Rambling River Art Quilters, as an “extra”. A few months later, they called me up and asked me to join the group! They’re a really fun bunch, so of course, I said YES! The group is divided into the East Side […]

Studio Organizing, Week 26

Posted on June 25, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I’m sad to say the upstairs pile of magazines didn’t change at all. But I did make a tiny bit of progress on the pile downstairs. I’ll keep chipping away at it. How did you do? This is the last Thursday in the first half of this year, so I’m sort of in a “regrouping” […]

Studio Organizing, Week 25

Posted on June 18, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

So how did you do with last week’s task? I cleaned out that drawer, and was amazed at the amount of junk in just that one little drawer! I got rid of a lot of stuff! Doesn’t it look so much better now? (You can see the before picture in last week’s post.) I’m still […]

Mayflowers

Posted on June 16, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

I’m ready to show you my final design from the 2016 Arrow Rock Quilt Camp. This is the wall quilt I designed for the needle-turn applique class I taught. It’s called Mayflowers, and I made a modern version: And a traditional version: I was doodling in my sketchbook one day and hit upon the idea of […]

Studio Organizing, Week 24

Posted on June 11, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I think my motivation is finally coming back. Maybe I’m caught up on sleep . . . or maybe it was the visit to the chiropractor . . . or both? Whatever it was, I’m finally feeling better, and I’m back at it. One thing that made me feel better was finally hiring a bookkeeper. […]

Studio Organizing, Week 23

Posted on June 4, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

In my current floundering state of zero motivation, I’m not getting things done at my usual pace. The last couple tasks have been extremely difficult for me. I have the bottom portion of the closet halfway cleaned out. And I went through the bag of scraps, and started pre-cutting and sorting the pieces into my […]

May 350 Blocks Report

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

I am highly certain that all of you did way better than I did this past month. For my block total this month, I have a big fat ZERO! I worked on nothing of my own. I didn’t even squeak out my monthly guild exchange block, so I still have that to do. I’m planning […]

Studio Organizing, Week 22

Posted on May 28, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I think I bit off more than I could chew last week! This is as far as I got on my closet: It’s emptier, but not even completely emptied out yet! I’ve been a little lacking in motivation this week. Send help — send me some mojo! Yet here we are — it’s already time […]

Studio Organizing, Week 21

Posted on May 21, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

You all have some really neat ideas for travel sewing kits! Thanks for sharing them in the comments last week. I especially like the idea of the kit being squooshy, so that it fits into a larger bag and only takes up as much room as the project needs. Last week, I showed you my […]

Aweigh

Posted on May 20, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

When I got asked to teach a hand quilting class at the Arrow Rock Quilt Camp this spring, I knew that I wanted a fresh new design for our project. With summer fast approaching, I thought something with a nautical theme might be nice, so I drew up this little anchor design. I surrounded it […]
