A little over three years ago, my friend, Amy, posted on FaceBook that she was looking for an inexpensive sewing machine for her daughter, and was asking for recommendations. Amy’s daughter, Macy, was confined to home while undergoing treatment for a tumor in her jaw, and all she wanted for her 10th birthday was a […]

A Quilt for My Third Daughter

Posted on June 19, 2019 by prairiemoonquilts in People, Quilts

Years ago, my daughter and her best friend, who I call my third daughter, both asked me to make them t-shirt quilts. Several years ago, I finally finished one for my second daughter, and you can see it HERE. Then, naturally, I procrastinated on the next one. Last fall, I set in on it, and […]

Happy Birthday, Katy Lou!

It’s my little sister’s birthday today . . . So it’s a good time to tell her thanks for all she does for me. Thanks, Kate, for helping me test recipes (because we can cook at your house without a cat sitting in the middle of everything), helping me test quilt patterns, letting me hang […]

Red & White Quilts

Posted on December 7, 2018 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, People, Reviews

A new book was just released last month (by Martingale) featuring a collection of the most gorgeous Red & White Quilts. Fourteen designers were asked to create a quilt for this book, and honestly, I cannot pick a favorite! What’s not to love about red and white? And the book itself is beautiful and fun […]

Quilts for Pam and Rachel

Posted on July 21, 2018 by prairiemoonquilts in People, Quilts

A couple years ago, my cousins asked me if I would help them out by finishing some quilt tops that my Great-Aunt Jo had started before she passed away. I was honored to do it. Isn’t this a lovely stack of finished quilts? First up was a set of embroidered blocks that Aunt Jo had […]

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 […]

The Great Quilt Batting Relay

Posted on March 30, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Miscellaneous, People

In my extreme unorganization, I finally managed to break down into a full-blown panic attack yesterday afternoon. I had just pulled a quilt off the longarm, and was preparing to load the next one, when I realized I needed a particular type of batting. A type I didn’t think I had on hand. My friend, […]

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 […]
