So Far This Summer

I thought I’d pop on with an update on what I’ve been working on this summer so far. I was moving several things along fairly well, once my slump was over, but got immediately waylaid by elbow replacement surgery, which I was not expecting to have to have. But here I am, back at square […]

A Quilt for Brooks

My cousin’s youngest daughter had a baby boy back in March. Brooks Tyler arrived on the scene a week early, and is already 3 months old! Look at those cheeks! Of course, I had to make him a quilt. I struggled with deciding on a color scheme at first. I was planning to try and […]

Memorial Day

Posted on May 30, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I actually know what day it is today! It’s Monday, and it’s Memorial Day. I hope you’re taking time out to remember those we’ve lost, those who’ve served, and those who are still serving. It’s important. I guess that’s why it’s a national holiday, right? Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts is featuring her “Made […]

Orange and Blue Simple Chain

Another finish from this year — when I chose this color combo, I didn’t realize exactly how much I would love it, but it really turned out great! And I was just trying to use up scraps and stash! Just as I did for THIS quilt, I made this quilt from one of the blocks […]

Necktie Candy Boxes

The next Necktie Social quilt has been delivered! This time I used the “Cloud Nine” pattern, designed by Edyta Sitar of Laundry Basket Quilts. I had lots of little leftover pieces from previous Necktie Social quilts, and this was a great way to use them up! When I was finished, I thought the blocks looked […]

100 Days of Hand Appliqué

I mentioned earlier that I began a new “100 Days Project” back on March 10th. I had been mulling over what to do for my next one ever since my embroidered project was finished, and as I was rummaging through my vintage stuff one weekend, I happened upon this pile of melons: If you’d like […]

Pink Tulips Baby Quilt

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 […]

Pink Petals Baby Quilt

Pink Petals Baby Quilt

It all started with this . . . Going through a random bag of scraps that I had put aside for some unknown reason. Why did I even save something like these? What did I think I was going to do with them? Where did they come from? At the time, I can assure you, […]

Some Recent Finishes

I was planning to write a post about things I’ve been working on, then I realized that there are so many things, the post would be way too long, so I’m splitting this up into three separate posts: things I’ve finished, things I’m working on, and new things I’ve started this year (yep, way too […]

My Uncle Larry is a boat captain. He became a boat captain after retiring, and for a time, he even lived on his boat, the Hyde-Aweigh. Uncle Larry is the last surviving member of my mother’s family. He’s the baby, and he just celebrated his 80th birthday last week! Since he no longer lives on […]
