Well, Quilt Camp is over for this year, and what a fun experience it was! For me, it was a wonderful chance to slow down, relax a little, enjoy the town, the food, and most of all, the fellow quilters I was with. We had quilters from as far away as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, […]

It’s business as usual around here . . . I guess I should say BUSY-ness as usual . . . it gets kinda hectic sometimes. But I think Spring is finally trying to get here. I say trying, because last Saturday it was 85 degrees, and then it snowed on Monday. It just can’t make […]

In my extreme unorganization, I finally managed to break down into a full-blown panic attack yesterday afternoon. I had just pulled a quilt off the longarm, and was preparing to load the next one, when I realized I needed a particular type of batting. A type I didn’t think I had on hand. My friend, […]

News From the Ranch, Episode 1209

Posted on March 25, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in What's New

It’s crazy busy around here, as usual. And sometimes, it doesn’t seem like we’re making much forward progress. I do know that I will be glad when winter is over. It’s officially spring, as of last week, and while we’ve had a few nice days, it’s turned cold again, and we got a very light […]
