Posted on September 1, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in 350 Blocks Project

Baby Step 1

Posted on August 27, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

I have one little house project I can call done. It’s a closet. Nothing big. Just a closet. But what it means to have this closet finished is that I could put away a lot of the stuff that was sitting out in the way, keeping me from being able to work on other projects. […]

Today’s post is a tutorial for a project I’m calling the Ashbury Heights Apron, because I made it using fabrics from the darling Ashbury Heights fabric line by Doohikey Designs for Riley Blake.

Moving the Pecan

Posted on August 12, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Travels

I’ve always had a soft spot for The World’s Largest Pecan in Brunswick, MO. It’s a standing joke with my oldest daughter, because she used to get bored when we’d take the back roads, so one time when we went past it, I told her: “If you didn’t come this way and pay attention, you’d […]
