Susan’s Bridal Staircase

Posted on May 3, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, Quilts

I love being a longarm quilter, but never more than when I get to finish a vintage quilt top for a customer. It does my heart good to know that a forgotten unfinished quilt top is finally getting its turn at becoming a finished quilt that can be used and loved. I’ve done several recently, […]

Grandma’s Lone Star

Posted on August 5, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

I have a very, very dear friend named Brandon. One of the reasons we’re such good friends is because we share the same sense of humor! We used to work together, and occasionally, he’d see me working on a quilt over my lunch hour. And he’d name it for me. The name always began with […]

Sunbonnet Babies

Posted on February 10, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, People, Quilts

I recently had the honor of quilting a very special quilt. I met Barb Owen last November, when she attended a retreat that I was also attending. She was there working feverishly on a Sunbonnet Babies quilt for her granddaughter, Kristi. Seems there’s a tradition in Barb’s family of all the girls receiving Sunbonnet Babies […]

No. 500

Posted on October 17, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

No fanfare. No party hats. No confetti fell from the ceiling. No horns. No balloons. No cake even. Just the birds chirping. Jasper bleating in the back yard. And My Cowboy: “I don’t hear that machine runnin’ — git ta work!” Last week, I quilted the 500th quilt on my longarm, since getting it in […]

Marianne’s Nantucket Quilt

Posted on April 29, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

A couple weeks ago, I showed you Tom’s “Monsters!” quilt, and at that time, I told you that his wife, Marianne, had also sent me a quilt top to quilt. Well, today I’m back to show you Marianne’s quilt. It’s from a pattern called “Nantucket,” by Minick and Simpson, and she made it from their […]

Friendly Monsters

Posted on April 10, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

Here’s one of the quilts I had the pleasure of quilting for a client recently. Tom sent me his Monsters quilt top for quilting, and look at this! Isn’t this the most adorable quilt? I just love it. The monsters are all so cute! It has an embroidered poem around the edge, and the piecing […]

Katy’s Paint Chip Challenge

Posted on January 16, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, People

When I showed you all my Paint Chip Challenge project a while back, I told you I’d also show you the one my sister made. She got a much easier color combination than I did — Cranberry Zing and Intense Teal — which just happens to be one of her favorite color combinations at this […]

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 […]

Michele’s Mod Quilt

Posted on February 6, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

While I was living in Nebraska, I quilted a quilt for my friend, Michele Muska. Michele is a fan of Marcia Derse fabrics (and why not? — they’re fabulous!) and she had been collecting them for a while, and then she made this HUGE quilt out of them! I don’t know if Michele remembers, but […]
