Gina’s Nine-Patch Challenge

Posted on January 4, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting

Last fall, I quilted a quilt for a friend and customer, Gina. (I think it’s great that so many of my customers are also my friends!) Gina received a bunch of 9-patch blocks from a group challenge, and this is what she did with hers! She sure made them go far — this quilt is […]

I recently had the honor of quilting for my friend, Sandra. She made a Metro Rings quilt for her son and his new wife, as their wedding quilt. It’s made in 30s reproductions fabrics, and it is simply gorgeous! Sandra made this quilt for their bed, so she made the center portion of the quilt […]

You can read an article I wrote about Imogene and her husband, Chet, over on The Life of Hazel Ilene’s blog HERE. Imogene is a quilter, and […]

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 […]

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 […]
