The PVQG Brown Bag Special

Posted on March 4, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Guild Stuff

For our group mystery project this year, my local guild, the Pecan Valley Quilt Guild, did the Brown Bag Special, a 4-part program I designed a lot of years ago. Our group has done this before, but we have a lot of new members, and since the results come out differently every time, AND there […]

Wow! You guys worked hard this time! I can’t even imagine how much paper got recycled among us in the last few days! I cleaned out one file drawer, started on the second one (I only have 3 altogether), and then went to work on the piles that are already out. Because one of my […]

2019 Final Countdown Task Three

Posted on December 31, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

Well, yesterday was one of those days. I found every possible way to procrastinate (such as these), and never even stepped foot into my sewing room. But in my defense, I do have some tight January longarm deadlines, so I spent my time running the longarm, and even tho I wanted to, I did not […]

2019 Final Countdown Task Two

Posted on December 30, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges

Yikes! I cleaned out a file drawer, started on another one, went through a pile of magazines, gathered all the paperwork I need to send to my accountant, sorted through a box of old patterns and passed the ones I didn’t want on to a friend, and found a place for the ones I want […]

I haven’t linked this in awhile, and it’s good for a laugh (the hair!), so go give this a listen to help get you in the mood for our Final Countdown! You’d think after eleven years of doing this, I wouldn’t need to do it any more, but alas, such is not the case. We’ll […]

The 11th Annual Final Countdown

Posted on December 28, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Studio Organizing Challenge

Well! That flew by, didn’t it? Another year — gone in a flash. We’re at the threshold of a new decade even, so that means it’s time to count down the final few days of 2019. I feel like I made better progress this past year than I did the year before, but how is […]

Here we are again . . . September 23 . . . That magical day when there are only 100 days left in the year. Time for me to make another list of “100 Things To Do in the Next 100 Days”. I usually do three of these lists every year, but this year, I […]

The Happenstance Quilts Reveal

Posted on September 5, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Guild Stuff, Quilts

Back in February, I told you about my guild’s current mystery project we had going on, The Happenstance Quilts. I also showed you two options I had for doing mine. Well, I chose the Christmas option, and used this for my center block: I’ve never made an actual red and green Christmas quilt, so I […]

Round Robin

Posted on June 5, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in Challenges, Inspiration, Quilts

Approximately 23 years ago, my friend, Rose Marie, and I decided that we wanted to do a Round Robin quilt. There are many different iterations of how a Round Robin can be set up, but we wanted the kind where you start with a center block, and pass it around to other group members for […]
