September Studio Organizing

Posted on September 25, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I failed miserably on the last organizing challenge, so I need to do much better this time! The pile I was going to tackle has doubled in size, instead of getting any smaller. That’s because I’m still moving stuff over from the old studio. Will it ever end?? How do I still have so […]

The Next 100 Days

Posted on September 23, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Lists

Here we are at that magical day of the year when there are only 100 days left in the year! What are you going to do with them? I always tell myself: “They’re gonna pass anyway, you might as well try to make the most of them!” You can either still be right where you […]

Embroidered Summer Quilt

Posted on September 14, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

My sister got me this quilt for my birthday a couple years ago: We were eyeing it on Etsy, and I said I’d maybe like to get it and take it apart and machine quilt it. A bit later, I was at her house, and she presented me with the quilt! And after getting it […]

Love in Chains II

Posted on September 7, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

Way back in 2015 (how is that already so long ago?), I designed this cute throw quilt for Dear Stella to showcase some of their fabrics. For a while, they offered it as a free pattern on their site, but as things have evolved over time, it’s no longer there. So . . . I’ve […]

August 350 Blocks Report

Posted on August 31, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, that went fast! School is back in session, and fall will be here before we can blink! We still have a few more things to move out of the old house. In spite of an unusually cool August, we had some super hot days and some rainy days, and some days I simply didn’t […]

August Studio Organizing

Posted on August 12, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I haven’t posted a Studio Organizing task in a long time. Partly because I couldn’t land on one single task to concentrate on while I’ve been moving. I was having to do all the things at once! Plus, I simply haven’t been spending much time on the computer, if you hadn’t noticed. There’s been a […]

July 350 Blocks Report

Posted on July 31, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

I keep saying that I’m gonna get back to my normal schedule soon, but it doesn’t appear to be happening as fast as I’d like. I did get my new studio set up enough to sew, and I’ve been working to get back on track with all the customer quilts I have piled up here! […]

June 350 Blocks Report

Posted on July 1, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, it’s the first time in a long time that this has happened, but I did not sew a single block during June! I barely sewed anything at all! We have been moving finally, so things are in a real mess. I still have a lot of studio stuff to move over, but just in […]

May 350 Blocks Report

Posted on June 2, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

I’m late getting this report up! Partly because as of yesterday morning, I didn’t even realize it was already June! I’m so frazzled, I’m having a lot of trouble keeping track of the days. And unfortunately for My poor Cowboy, I’m not doing a very good job of hidin’ the crazy, either. It seems like […]

April 350 Blocks Report

Posted on April 30, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Tomorrow is May Day already! I spent more time at the longarm in April than I did at the sewing machine. If not for the days we had such ferocious storms that I couldn’t plug in the longarm, I might not have gotten any blocks made. Sometimes when it’s storming, I will still dare to […]
