Cowboy Coffee Cake

Posted on February 21, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Meal planning & Recipes

My Cowboy is a picky eater. He wants “Man Food”, fill-yer-belly-and-keep-it-full dishes, and also wants to know exactly what’s in it. Things like quiche and crepes and fru-fru delicacies make him turn up his nose! In fact, if I were to tell him that this is actually called “Coffee Cake”, he’d probably not eat it, […]

Studio Organizing, Week 8

Posted on February 19, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

It was interesting to hear about all the tools you are trying out. I had to go look up what a couple of them were! I posted HERE about using the Easy Dresden Tool. And while I have yet to take any stitches, I have been cutting with my mini Double Wedding Ring templates. So […]

Studio Organizing, Week 7

Posted on February 12, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I don’t know about you, but I reached a conclusion about last week’s task: If my cutting table is completely clear, then it means I’m not working! Here’s my after picture: It’s a little bit, but not a whole lot, better than the before picture — but these are all things I’m working on! […]

Sunbonnet Babies

Posted on February 10, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, People, Quilts

I recently had the honor of quilting a very special quilt. I met Barb Owen last November, when she attended a retreat that I was also attending. She was there working feverishly on a Sunbonnet Babies quilt for her granddaughter, Kristi. Seems there’s a tradition in Barb’s family of all the girls receiving Sunbonnet Babies […]

Studio Organizing, Week 6

Posted on February 5, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Whew! That feels so much better! I even got rid of some things. In just one drawer! But that is one of my main goals with all this organizing: Less Stuff! Especially if I have duplicates I’ll never use. I got rid of FIVE boxes of pins! And I probably still have too many. How […]

February Procrastination Challenge

Posted on February 2, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

Well, I feel like I’ve fizzled out on this so far. I did locate my January project, it does indeed have a backing ready, and I located the binding for it. But . . . that’s as far as I got. It needs to be quilted, but with the backlog of customer quilts I still […]

January 350 Blocks Report

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

I hope we’re all busily making blocks this year. It’s one of my goals that, as a group, we can break all of last year’s records! We’re off to a good start with that, because we have 86 participants signed up so far — woohoo! And if you want to join in, but haven’t signed […]

Studio Organizing, Week 5

Posted on January 29, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

My Cowboy reads my blog . . . apparently more than I think he does! After my lamentations about broken rotary cutters from last week, look what magically arrived in the mail this week! My Cowboy shopped for my favorite cutter, in several different styles, and now I think I’m set for a good long […]

Studio Organizing, Week 4

Posted on January 22, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

So . . . has your rotary cutting been easier since you changed your blade? I dutifully changed my blade right along with you all, used it for about 10 minutes, and then my cutter just quit working! My favorite one, the one on the left: So I changed the blade in the one on […]

Cowgirl Club

Posted on January 20, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Cowgirl Club

A few years ago, I hosted the Prairie Moon Quilts Cowgirl Club. But then I got too busy to handle it, so I put it on hold for a while. Now that I’m busier than ever, I’ve decided to start it up again! Makes perfect sense, right? So that means . . . The Prairie […]
