Honeycrisp and Confetti Dots

Posted on August 7, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Earlier this year I made this cute little quilt for Dear Stella. It’s called “Marbles”, and it’s from the book “Simply Fat Quarters” by “It’s Sew Emma” — a very quick and easy quilt to make up, and it showcases their Honeycrisp prints so well. My favorite piece in this collection is the Owl print, […]

House Tour

Posted on August 5, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Prairie Moon Ranch

I’ve decided it’s time to give you a house tour. I was waiting until I had something to show you of the work we’re doing, but that’s going so slowly, it’s ridiculous, so I’m going ahead with the tour now. This first tour is of the house as it was when we bought it. These […]

The 350 Blocks Project, July Report

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

Well, that month flew by in a hurry! How did you all do with your block counts? It didn’t feel like I got much sewing time in, but I actually did better on my block count this past month than I have in previous months. I guess that’s what a deadline or two will do […]

Greek Cross, Take Two

Posted on July 3, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

I meant to post this yesterday, but my day did not go as planned. It’s allergy season, and I ran out of my allergy medicine, and decided to try the kind My Cowboy takes. Big mistake. If a medication says on the package “may cause drowsiness”, it in fact really means “will turn Shelly into […]

The 350 Blocks Project, June Report

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

All of you are certainly showing me up. You’ve already started sending me your reports for The 350 Blocks Project, and I’m ashamed to admit that I only added 7 to my total this month. Really?! At some point, all the sewing I’m doing has to yield something, doesn’t it? Then again, maybe not, when […]

What The Hex?

Posted on June 24, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals, My Patterns

My next new pattern . . . What The Hex? This pattern was designed to use the Moda pre-cut hexagons called Honeycombs. But never fear, if you don’t want to use a Honeycomb, the instructions include how to make it without that, just in case you were wanting to maybe possibly use up some scrappage? […]

Chuck Wagon’s Flooring Emporium

Posted on June 19, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Animals, Prairie Moon Ranch

I think all the remodeling is getting to me. I dreamed last night that I was shopping at a place called Chuck Wagon’s Flooring Emporium. Seriously?!?! If I find out there actually IS such a place, I’ll be floored . . . OK, maybe I got up a bit too early this morning. But before […]
