Scrap Quilt Progress

Posted on January 10, 2017 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

I have my first finish of the year! It only took me six days. I finished the cow quilt I started in the Leni Wiener workshop back in October. All I had left to do was put the cows on their background, then get it quilted and bound. It didn’t take near as long as […]

No, I’m not posting a holiday recipe! I’m showing you the progress I’m making on the Tula Pink Spiked Punch quilt I’m making for my daughter. When my daughter went to QuiltCon with me in February, she was amazed by all the “pretty and fun things” she was seeing. Pati, at Marcus Fabrics, let her […]

Happy Halloween!

Posted on October 31, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in My Patterns, Quilts

I made a Halloween quilt over the weekend while I was at a retreat with some friends. Getting good pictures without My Cowboy’s help is nearly impossible, too. It’s a dreary, breezy day outside, and sort of misting. Perfect for Halloween, I guess, and at least it’s not cold! I had purchased this assortment of Halloween […]

Susan’s Bridal Staircase

Posted on May 3, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Longarm Quilting, Quilts

I love being a longarm quilter, but never more than when I get to finish a vintage quilt top for a customer. It does my heart good to know that a forgotten unfinished quilt top is finally getting its turn at becoming a finished quilt that can be used and loved. I’ve done several recently, […]

My Tile Quilt

Posted on April 9, 2016 by prairiemoonquilts in Quilts

Last year I had the opportunity to make my first pilgrimage to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. I went with my friend, Edie McGinnis, so that we could see our mutual friend, Victoria, while she was there teaching, and also see her exhibit of quilts the museum had hanging. Naturally, […]

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 […]
