Rollin’ Along

Posted on February 24, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts, Tutorials

Today I have a new tutorial up on Riley Blake’s Cutting Corners College. It uses the new line, Roundup!, by Samantha Walker for Riley Blake. So many cute prints in lots of colors! My quilt is called Rollin’ Along, since it’s based on the traditional Broken Wheel block. I really had fun making this quilt. […]

Charleston Pavement

Posted on February 19, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Guild Stuff, My Patterns, Quilts, Quotes, What's New

I take my sketchbook with me almost everywhere. It comes in very handy when I get stuck waiting somewhere. Somewhere like a hospital waiting room, for example. It was on one such occasion that I ended up staring at the carpeting in said waiting room until the weave pattern became so apparent that I sketched […]

My Daughter’s T-Shirt Quilt

Posted on January 21, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

My daughter has been asking me to make her a t-shirt quilt for about 3 years now (if not longer). She’s given me lots of t-shirts to use for just that purpose, too. So many, in fact, that she asked me to separate them out, and make her one t-shirt quilt out of just the […]

A Special Treat

Last Tuesday evening, I was invited, along with a few other friends, to Alice’s house, to view a “private” trunk show by the very talented Karen Grover. Karen brought along a few of her quilts and treated us to a delightful little personal showing that I enjoyed very much. It was very interesting to hear […]

Honeycrisp and Confetti Dots

Posted on August 7, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Earlier this year I made this cute little quilt for Dear Stella. It’s called “Marbles”, and it’s from the book “Simply Fat Quarters” by “It’s Sew Emma” — a very quick and easy quilt to make up, and it showcases their Honeycrisp prints so well. My favorite piece in this collection is the Owl print, […]
