Posted on December 28, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Can you believe it’s already time once again for The Final Countdown? My grandmother used to always say: “The older I get, the faster time flies.” I know exactly what she meant! This entire year just got away from me so fast. I hope you’re all ready for your tasks over the next few days. […]

How did you do this month? Were you busy making projects for Christmas gifts, and got your total boosted that way? Did the weather keep you indoors and allow you more time at your sewing machine? I had a busy month with quilting, and with lots of other stuff as well. I managed to boost […]

Date Night With My Cowboy

Posted on November 19, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals

A few weeks ago, before I went to Quilt Market, when I’d been sewing non-stop with very few breaks, My Cowboy decided that I needed a break, and that I should go check the momma cows with him one evening. It was kinda cool out, so I bundled up and went along. It’s calving season, […]

Posted on October 31, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Only two more months to make it to 350 blocks! Some of you won’t have to worry about this, because you’re either way over 350, or well on the way to it. Me, it’s a good thing I had a good month in September, or I’d be having a bit of a struggle . . […]

The 350 Blocks Project, September Report

Posted on September 30, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Well, how did you do this month? September seemed really short to me. Going to my guild’s retreat sure helped me out, and I managed to add 48 blocks to my total this month. At least I’m not falling any further behind for a change. At this late date, I can’t afford to — there’s […]

I have a new pattern out, and best of all . . . it’s FREE! It’s a pattern for a table runner that you can make from a candy pack and a bit of background fabric. (A candy pack is a packet of 40 pre-cut 2 1/2″ squares.) You can use your favorite method of […]

Kathy’s Lone Star

Posted on September 26, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

I’m back today to show you another quilt I quilted while I was living in Nebraska last year. I got a lot of quilting done in Nebraska! And evidently didn’t blog about any of it at the time. This one was for Kathy. I’ve quilted several quilts for Kathy, most of them with embroidered blocks […]
