The Rebuttal Quilt

Posted on September 4, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I recently finished a quilt that I’m lovingly calling “The Rebuttal Quilt”. Back in 2014, my bestie, Victoria Findlay Wolfe, and I, rented a retreat center for ourselves for 5 glorious days of non-stop sewing. If you don’t count the incident where I had to leave her all alone there one night and go rescue […]

Wooly Stars

Posted on January 31, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Since I made the elephant quilt for that special little girl to keep at her grandma’s house, I also needed to make her one for her own house. I heard through the grapevine that her mama wanted a sheep theme in the nursery, and I was in love with this pattern, so it was the […]

My first finish of 2025! I finally finished this Jammin’ Jelly quilt: The pattern is by my friend, Cindy, at Live a Colorful Life. It’s such an easy make. And it uses big pieces, so you can see the fabrics really well. I started this quilt as part of a challenge my guild did to […]

Matt & Cammie’s Wedding Quilt

Posted on December 16, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Back before we moved, I started working on this rustic-farm(ish)-country-scrappy quilt for some friends of ours who were getting married in June. I thought I’d have plenty of time to get it done in time for the wedding, but that was just me and my big pie-in-the-sky expectations, which are almost always unrealistic! So we […]

A Very Special Double Wedding Ring Quilt

Posted on December 3, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

The last couple months, I got to work on something very special . . . Over the last few years, I’ve been working with my cousin’s wife, Pam, to finish up all the quilting UFOs my Great-Aunt Jo left behind when she passed away. You can see most of them (and read their stories) HERE. […]

My bestie, Victoria Findlay Wolfe, has a new book out. It actually came out in September, but I took time to read all the way through mine before posting about it. It’s so wonderful! It’s called “The Quilting Experience: A Celebration of Community and Patchwork Patterns”. This book is a lovely, hard-cover book with soooo […]

Embroidered Summer Quilt

Posted on September 14, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

My sister got me this quilt for my birthday a couple years ago: We were eyeing it on Etsy, and I said I’d maybe like to get it and take it apart and machine quilt it. A bit later, I was at her house, and she presented me with the quilt! And after getting it […]

Option Expedition

Posted on April 20, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Longarm Quilting, Quilts

Victoria Findlay Wolfe has a new series of work now showing! She worked hard on these pieces over the last couple years, which means she kept me busy with these pieces as well. I have to say I breathed a big sigh of relief when we finished the last one for this exhibit! There will […]

Forest Floor

Posted on November 28, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Back today to show you another finish, and this is a biggie! I started this quilt sometime around 2008, and got the top finished pretty quickly, because it’s just scrap squares. The idea came from this book, “Bed Warmers”, by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith (from 1999). The cover quilt, called “Country Traditions”, was my […]
