Shirley’s Flower Garden

The very first year I taught at the Arrow Rock Quilt Camp, I gave a trunk show called “Vintage Inspiration”, which is me showing a whole bunch of quilts I’ve made that were inspired by or made from bits of old quilts I’ve picked up over the years. That was back in 2014. That’s when […]

Kathy’s Ramble

Posted on May 12, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts, What's New

Were you aware that the simple patchwork pinwheel block has many names? One of those names is “Kathy’s Ramble”. When I designed the Arrow Rock Sampler quilts, I included this block in the quilt in honor of Kathy Borgman, who runs Borgman’s Bed & Breakfast in the Village of Arrow Rock. It’s where I’ve stayed […]

Chipping Away

Posted on March 18, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Studio News

Do you wanna see some of what I’ve been working on lately? I’m a flitter by nature, so my projects are all over the place. Plus . . . I’ve been cleaning out a lot of long-forgotten spaces, and I’ve unearthed a lot of long-forgotten stuff! (If you read clear to the end, I’m sharing […]

I Heart You

Posted on February 25, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I started AND finished this quilt this year, so I feel it’s worthy of mention! It’s rare that I complete something in such a timely manner. This pattern is I Heart You by V and Co., and I bought the pattern a long time ago, but had yet to make it. Before Valentine’s Day this […]

A Crown Royal Quilt

Posted on February 22, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

My bestie, Victoria, says “Never say ‘Never say never’, or that’s the thing you will end up doing!” And turns out, it is so true. I used to say I never wanted to make a Log Cabin quilt, but I’ve made several, and am working on one right now! I also said I never wanted […]

Hibernation Sewing

Posted on February 16, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Studio News

It’s been bitter cold and snowy here, and altho we don’t have it near as bad as folks further north, I still don’t like it much! We’re finally gonna have a high temperature above 0 degrees today for the first time in days, even tho as I write this, it’s still only -4 out. But […]

The State of the Table, January 2021

Posted on January 28, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Thought I’d pop on today and show you a bit of what I’ve been working on lately. I can’t always show what I’m working on, since a lot of it is “secret sewing”, so when I have a chance to share, I’m gonna take it! During The Final Countdown, I cleared my cutting table off […]

Last Call

Posted on January 26, 2021 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I’m fixin’ to start sewing my Signature blocks together that I collected last year! I’m too curious to see how they’re gonna look to leave them laying around in the bag much longer. Plus, it’s giving me a way to “start something new” without actually starting something “new”. Teehee! See how I pulled that off, […]

Morning Glory

Posted on May 30, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I am so happy to write this post today, because showing you this finished quilt means that . . . My oldest UFO is FINISHED!!!! Woohoo!!! I started this quilt back in the late 1980s or early 90s — it’s so old I can’t remember. Can you tell by the colors and fabrics? (Which, by […]

Comfort Quilts

Posted on April 27, 2020 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I’m back today to show you a few quilts I finished back in March. But I only just finished the binding on all of them last week. I took them out and pinned them to the fence around the goat pen Saturday morning. We finally had a day that wasn’t so windy. Had I tried […]
