So Far This Year . . .

Posted on February 6, 2026 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

As much as I dislike winter, and how January seems to drag on interminably, this year it seemed to fly right by. I worked on a lot of stuff. The Final Countdown got me motivated to do a lot of things, especially after updating that frightful list of projects! I got rid of FIVE UFOs […]

Slow Progress

Posted on June 23, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

Lately, I feel like all I’ve been doing is driving. When I’m not driving my truck, I’m driving my longarm. That’s about the only things I’ve been doing. In between, I sleep because I’m so tired from all the driving. I’m still waiting for things to level out a little, but every time something calms […]

Project Updates

Posted on April 8, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

My mojo is still rebelling. It’s in the building, but it’s very sluggish and stubborn right now! I’m still mainly running the longarm with what time I do have in the studio. All I can say is: I’m glad the weather is somewhat warmer because there’s been something making me leave the house nearly every […]

Grandma’s Little Singer

Posted on January 21, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

So many have asked about my little Singer sewing machine that I decided I’d just make a whole post about her! This little machine belonged to my grandmother. It lived in her utility room some of the time, and in her breezeway some of the time. I’ve sewed a lot of miles on this machine […]

It’s a Great Day!

Posted on January 11, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in Studio News

Twenty-six years ago today (in 1999), I launched my little business. So doesn’t that mean I just finished 25 years in business? I think that math is correct. So 25 years is a pretty big deal of an anniversary to celebrate, right? I’ve completely lost track of how many patterns I’ve published in that amount […]

The Quilting Experience

Posted on November 14, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Longarm Quilting, Quilts, Reviews, Studio News

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 […]

Popping on to show you some of what I’ve been working on lately. I realized that I do a lot of stitching in lots of different categories, so I’m gonna break the projects down into those categories, and show you what I’m working on in each category. I’ve got 11 different categories today, so let’s […]

Love of Quilting

Posted on June 13, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Studio News

Hi, there! If you haven’t already done it by now, I hope you’ll check out the July/August 2023 issue of Fons & Porter’s Love of Quilting magazine. I have an article in there this time! It’s about battling burnout. I think we all have to do that now and then. It’s a real thing. Right […]

My Thimble Collection

Posted on March 17, 2023 by prairiemoonquilts in Inspiration, Studio News

I’m not much of a decorator — my sister got all of that gene in our family. So while I love looking at stuff other people have done, I never seem to do much of it myself. My youngest daughter travels a lot, and she buys me a souvenir thimble everywhere she goes. I also […]
