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 […]

April Studio Organizing

Posted on April 24, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

Doing one task every two months is a far cry from doing two every month — I’ve gotten way off track! But it’s high time we tackled another one, so here we are today . . . I gave us two choices last time, and I’ve been working on both of those pretty steadily. I […]

Option Expedition

Victoria Findlay Wolfe has a new series of work now showing! She worked hard on these pieces over the last couple years, which means she kept me busy with these pieces as well. I have to say I breathed a big sigh of relief when we finished the last one for this exhibit! There will […]

March 350 Blocks Report

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

Hello, there! Can you tell I haven’t felt like blogging lately? No posts in March, which is really unusual for me. I’ve just been all discombobulated, and I’ve been super scattered. I really haven’t felt like doing much of anything, and it’s starting to show! I think my mojo just upped and walked away sometime […]

February 350 Blocks Report

Posted on February 29, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Happy Leap Day! Did you know that this is the day “for all girls to grab their husbands”? Haha! And it gave us an extra day to make more blocks! And I know it wasn’t because of the extra day, but this month seemed long — maybe because winter. I’m so tired of being cold. […]

February Studio Organizing Task

Posted on February 17, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio Organizing Challenge

I completely missed posting any January tasks. I’m pretty sure my brain was frozen. We’re back into another frigid cold spell for the weekend, and I’m typing this with blue fingers, but I did at least realize that the 15th was a couple days ago, and I should really post an organizing challenge. Since I […]

January 350 Blocks Report

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

January was not kind to us here on the ol’ ranch. We had some severely brutal weather, and our furnace could not keep up. I don’t think I’ve ever had to spend so much time and effort merely to survive. And I hope we never have to go through that again. If this old house […]

Ready to kick this off? I’ve already started keeping a January block tally — have you? I’m on a personal mission to beat my last year’s total, so I gotta get off to a good start, right? Again this year, I’m keeping things simple — the rules will remain the same. Anyone is welcome to join […]

15th Annual Final Countdown Wrap-up

Posted on January 9, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

I’m late posting the winners. We’re in the middle of a winter storm, and we had to spend yesterday getting our animals all settled in and ready for it. And this morning, the power was off and on and off and on, so I was afraid to plug anything in. Currently, there are supposedly 5000 […]
