Me. In the Big City.
Posted on June 5, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in TravelsI took the long way to Market this year. First, I went to New York! Victoria wanted me to see it, and she sure had a lot of things to show me! The first day I was there, she drove me around and showed me some sights, and I finally got to meet her family! […]

Posted on May 13, 2014 by prairiemoonquilts in TravelsWell, Quilt Camp is over for this year, and what a fun experience it was! For me, it was a wonderful chance to slow down, relax a little, enjoy the town, the food, and most of all, the fellow quilters I was with. We had quilters from as far away as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, […]

Last week I had the honor of presenting a trunk show to the Stitch by Stitch Quilt Guild in Marshall, MO. What a fun bunch of gals! We got together for dinner before the meeting, and I think more than half of them showed up for that! We had some good laughs. When we got […]

I’ve always had a soft spot for The World’s Largest Pecan in Brunswick, MO. It’s a standing joke with my oldest daughter, because she used to get bored when we’d take the back roads, so one time when we went past it, I told her: “If you didn’t come this way and pay attention, you’d […]

Every year, on Father’s Day weekend, The Allis Connection hosts an Allis Chalmers tractor show in Amana, IA. Every year, my brother, sister, and I take our dad and our cousin Deno to go see it. Yesterday was the big day! It’s a 4-hour car ride one way, and my family is a veritable bunch […]

Posted on May 11, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in People, TravelsMy Cowboy hung out with a couple of his Amish buddies last weekend, and they took a road trip together. Given his penchant for tire/wheel troubles, true to form, they broke down somewhere along the way. While waiting for the truck to be repaired, My Cowboy, Freddie, Daniel, and the tow-truck driver ducked into the […]

Posted on March 18, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Guild Stuff, TravelsMy local guild, The Pecan Valley Quilt Guild, had a retreat this past weekend. We do this twice a year, and it’s always a total blast. We go to the Comfort Inn in Chillicothe, and what a wonderful place to have it. We never want for anything, and the hotel is one of the nicest […]

Posted on January 17, 2013 by prairiemoonquilts in Quotes, TravelsIvy, my longarm machine, decided she needed a break, and went on a mission to self-destruct Tuesday afternoon. I called the guys at Nolting for help, and after trying some things over the phone, we decided that she was really being serious, and needed more help than they could provide long distance. So, My Cowboy […]

Posted on December 3, 2012 by prairiemoonquilts in TravelsToday I had to go to the Post Office to mail a big pile of packages. Our nearest Post Office is 21 miles away, in the town of Dunning. It takes nearly an hour to make the round trip, but sometimes it just has to be done. So today I took along my camera and […]
