This pattern makes a cute little […]

Silent Night

Posted on December 24, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

I’m wishing all of you a most wonderful, warm, happy, peaceful, and very Merry Christmas. I really appreciate that you take the time to visit my little corner of the world and read what I have to say. Fifty-seven years ago today, my mother was in the hospital giving birth to my baby brother, Darin. […]

It’s time once again to announce the new annual BOM program that I’ve designed for Sew Sweet Quilt Shop. Only this year, I have no quilts to show you! This year’s quilt is a MYSTERY! That’s right — we’re changing things up, and this year’s quilt is a mystery quilt in 12 installments. The quilt […]

Pink Tulips Baby Quilt

Posted on April 5, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts

I’m back with another pink baby quilt today. This one is called Pink Tulips: I made it using one of the blocks from my BOM quilt, Sew Sweet Sampler — Block 5, to be exact — so if you have the Sew Sweet Samplers pattern, you already have this block pattern, too! If not, you can […]

Mad Dash

Posted on March 7, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash, My Patterns

I have a new pattern to introduce to you today! I’ve been working on this for a very long time. It was a hard one to write. In fact, when I made the first quilt, I never intended to turn it into a pattern — I was making it just for myself. However, once other […]

Tuesday Afternoons

Posted on February 9, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

Many years ago, when I had a job other than quilting, we would have a staff meeting every Tuesday afternoon. I won’t go into my true opinion about said staff meetings, but I will say that I used to get in trouble for doodling during those meetings. And that is where this quilt design was […]

Western Lady

Posted on December 2, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns

Here she is! The 2021 Prairie Moon Ranch Cowboy Christmas Stocking! This year’s boot is called “Western Lady”. I went back to a bit simpler boot this year, letting the fabric do more of the work for me, and adding that bit of chain for an extra interesting embellishment. The appliqué on this one is […]

Brunswick Forest

It’s here! The new Block-of-the-Month for Sew Sweet Quilt Shop! This year’s quilt is a sampler of trees, hence the name Brunswick Forest. Twelve different tree blocks, set into an asymmetrical setting, just as a forest would actually be. As always, we do two versions of the quilt, just for more options. Here is the […]

Kathy’s Ramble

Posted on May 12, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts, What's New

Were you aware that the simple patchwork pinwheel block has many names? One of those names is “Kathy’s Ramble”. When I designed the Arrow Rock Sampler quilts, I included this block in the quilt in honor of Kathy Borgman, who runs Borgman’s Bed & Breakfast in the Village of Arrow Rock. It’s where I’ve stayed […]

Wyoming Valley Winter

Posted on December 4, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Loretta's Samplers, My Patterns

I have a new pattern out! And believe it or not, I actually made a Christmas quilt this year! When I introduced Loretta’s Farm and Garden Samplers back in August, I included the traditional block, Wyoming Valley, designed by Nancy Cabot, as one of the blocks in the sampler. My Cowboy has spent a lot […]
