Posted on October 29, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts, What's New

They’re here! — The Three Witches: This is the larger version of the smaller quilt I showed back in July HERE. Based on the three witches from Shakespeare’s play, “Macbeth”, this larger version features lots more embroidery with more coloring. It features each witch individually, and also the group together. Don’t they look conniving? There are […]

500 Traditional Quilts

Posted on October 22, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Reviews

500 seems to be the magical number around here lately. But someone needs to stop me before I eat my 500th Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Seriously. Or 500 will also be the magical number on my scale. Today’s 500 refers to the new book out by LARK Publishing called “500 Traditional Quilts”. It’s a wonderful […]

No. 500

Posted on October 17, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

No fanfare. No party hats. No confetti fell from the ceiling. No horns. No balloons. No cake even. Just the birds chirping. Jasper bleating in the back yard. And My Cowboy: “I don’t hear that machine runnin’ — git ta work!” Last week, I quilted the 500th quilt on my longarm, since getting it in […]

Well, there’s another month done and gone! How did you do? I managed to make 25 blocks this month, in spite of myself. I made these two for our monthly guild exchange: I made the rows for this quilt, and I’m counting them as 7 blocks: This quilt is the Happy and Scrappy Quilt from […]

So much fun! And it’s over now. What a great group of ladies to spend a weekend with! We laughed a lot, ate a lot, and sewed a lot. I believe there were 30 of us in attendance. Our guild is getting larger. We even swindled some ladies from the Kansas City area into joining […]

The Coolidge Park Carousel

Posted on September 19, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Travels

During our trip to Chattanooga, my sister wanted to go to Coolidge Park and see the hand-carved antique carousel they have there. What a fabulous idea that was! It’s gorgeous. And huge. And we got to ride it! This is the horse I rode: I’ve already forgotten his name. All the animals have names. The […]

See Rock City

Posted on September 17, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Travels

If you’ve ever driven anywhere in Tennessee, you can not possibly have missed noticing at least one sign declaring “See Rock City“. My sister and I have both seen these signs often, but neither of us had ever actually taken that advice and gone to see it. So while we were there this time, we […]

Seeing Some Sights

Posted on September 16, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Travels

My sister and I went to Chattanooga to the AQS Show down there last week. We left on Wednesday morning, and it had rained so much the night before, we had trouble getting out. Our normal route out was flooded over, so we took another road, and when we got to the main highway, part […]

August 350 Blocks Report

Posted on August 31, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

I can’t believe August is already over! Can you tell I’ve been busy? I’ve hardly blogged at all . . . And it certainly hasn’t been that I’ve been working on my own quilts much at all, either. I made a whoppin’ NINE blocks this month — that’s it. But it did break me over […]
