Setting Yourself Up

Posted on September 8, 2018 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Quilt-Alongs & Bees

If you’re participating in the Summertime Sampler Block-of-the-Month program through Sew Sweet Quilt Shop, or even if you simply bought the pattern to make the quilt on your own, I have a series of blog posts I’ll be doing throughout the duration of the BOM to give you some extra hints and tips along the […]

My Scrap Storage Method

Posted on January 26, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Stash Tales, Studio Organizing Challenge

Several of you said “yes”, you’d like to see how I store my smaller scraps, so today, I’m here to show you how I do that. My theory is that if something isn’t organized, it’s hard to use. If I can’t readily find what I’m looking for, I’ll end up not using it, and using […]

8th Annual Final Countdown Winners

Posted on January 6, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

I thoroughly enjoyed reading each and every comment you all left on the Final Countdown posts. From hearing your methods for organizing, to seeing what you have planned for the coming year, it’s all interesting and inspiring to me, and hopefully to everyone else reading, too. I just love a fresh start, and I’m all […]

I’m a Planner Nerd

Posted on December 30, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing

I freely admit it. There’s something about a blank book with lines waiting to be filled up with lists that just makes me giddy! I love my lists! I want to buy every planner book I come across, and I look at them all the time. And then I end up confusing myself. What is […]

Studio Organizing, Week 31

Posted on July 30, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

Did you get your scraps under control last week? I think mine are winning the battle around here — I did sort and cut a few, but I have a long way to go! I cut a lot of strips for my locker-hooked rug this week — now I can just work away without having […]

Studio Organizing, Week 16

Posted on April 16, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I barely managed to clean up even one small area this past week. It wasn’t even that bad of a mess — my problem is finding the extra time to give it any attention! But I’m so glad I did it. It looks so much better, and is like a breath of fresh air […]

Studio Organizing, Week 12

Posted on March 19, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

While last week’s task should have been an easy one for me, I sorta fizzled on it. I gathered up a lot more stray thread that needed to be put away, but all I managed to put away was the spools . . . because they were easy. The embroidery floss mess? Still a mess […]

Studio Organizing, Week 11

Posted on March 12, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

Well, I don’t know about you, but I needed last week’s re-do. I kept working on paper, and I have really made some progress. I also spent a lot of time just putting things away. I’ve unearthed a lot of items that need a home during all this organizing, so I worked on vanquishing some […]

Studio Organizing, Week 5

Posted on January 29, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

My Cowboy reads my blog . . . apparently more than I think he does! After my lamentations about broken rotary cutters from last week, look what magically arrived in the mail this week! My Cowboy shopped for my favorite cutter, in several different styles, and now I think I’m set for a good long […]

Studio Organizing, Week 2

Posted on January 8, 2015 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio Organizing Challenge

So did you find your oldest UFO? I found mine. I also found the backing. And what’s even more surprising? The binding fabric was with it, too! Who knew I was so organized? I sure didn’t! Here’s a sneak peek. Lovely 80’s colors, huh? I still have hope that it will be a really lovely […]
