2025 Final Countdown, Task Two

Posted on December 30, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

I know we worked on this one earlier in the year, and it’s also been a part of The Final Countdown several times, but the reason for that is because it usually always needs work! And based on some suggestions I got from a few of you, I’m including it again. We’re going to: Deal […]

2025 Final Countdown, Task One

Posted on December 29, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Every year, during The Final Countdown, I try to include one thinking/planning task, and I usually do that one on the last day. This year, I’m switching it up, and doing the thinking task on Day One. And there are several facets to the task this year as well. I’m not making things super easy […]

17th Annual Final Countdown

Posted on December 28, 2025 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Wow! Seventeen years, and I’m still not completely organized. Who’da thunk?! And I’ve worked pretty hard at it! I’ve made some great progress, but a lot of what’s left is hard stuff, and I tend to get stymied by the hard stuff — you know, things that require decisions, or things that I think will […]

Well, that week has flown by! My year usually starts off a little calmer than this one has — I hope this isn’t a bad sign! But once again, we’re in the middle of real winter right now. We had two days of blowing snow, and now the bitter cold has set in. We’re just […]

Well! Task Three already?! Did you make some good progress with the first two tasks? I did, and I’m hoping to give you a “new studio tour” shortly after the first of the year. Several of you have been asking, but I obviously haven’t been ready for that! But here we are at the last […]

Are you working on your sewing machine areas? I put away some scrap triangles and pressed some pieces I had laying there already sewn, but I still need to examine the drawers and clean up the dust bunnies during my next session. But it’s already time for Task Two! What you can’t see in the […]

2024 Final Countdown, Task One

Posted on December 29, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Each year, I try to pick tasks that I myself need to do to get a jump start on the new year coming up. And I always hope there are others out there, just like me, who also need to do these same tasks to get back on track. Lots of years, I’ve repeated some […]

16th Annual Final Countdown

Posted on December 28, 2024 by prairiemoonquilts in The Final Countdown

Yes. 16th Annual. And even with a brand new studio, I’m still in dire need of continued organizing! I have to give myself credit. I did a LOT over the last two years to make some great progress. I downsized a lot, I built some good habits, and I worked hard to not make things […]
