Studio Organizing, Week 12

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

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!

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 […]

Every year for the last six years, I’ve hosted “The Final Countdown” here on the ol’ blog. It’s three days of organizing tasks meant to help us all enter the New Year with a bit more clarity and peace of mind, at least as far as our sewing spaces and projects are concerned. And it […]

My Sewing Room

Posted on November 4, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio News

I have finally, after nearly 2 years here, finished another room of our house. And to me, it’s a very important one — it’s my sewing room! I’ve mentioned before that the upstairs of our house is just 4 empty rooms, and I’m turning each one into a room to house a specific function: an […]

The Great Quilt Magazine Sale, Round 1

Posted on November 30, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in Organizing, Studio News

When the movers showed up at my house a couple weeks ago, I was totally unprepared, and had hardly packed anything at all, so we ended up just chucking everything in boxes and moving it to Nebraska. Since arriving, my daily task list has included going through all those things and deciding what I want […]
