Pieceful Sunday: RV Quilting!

Resting with Sock Monkey at the Glamper

Exciting news! I will be attending the RV Quilters very first SEW2gether Rally in Branson, Mo! I joined the group last fall, but there were no spots open for the rally. I have been on a waiting list ever since. I am sorry that the other member had to cancel, but I am glad that I was the next person on the waiting list.

We will have a week of glamping, meeting each other face-to-face, sewing, quilting classes, games, a shop hop, and swapping quilting stories! I am so looking forward to meeting these wonder RV Quilters in person. They are a fun group! The photo shows me and Sock Monkey at a campsite. 

I made the awning myself.  I love my clam shell Teardrop. The back opens to reveal a full kitchen with a sink, running water, two propane burners, drawers and cabinets, a prep counter, a small refrigerator,  a TV, and a sound system. Inside there is a small bathroom,  a bench, storage, a table and bench that turns into a queen-size bed, another TV, and an entertainment center with radio, CD player and DVD player. All the comforts of home!

So far, I have only done hand stitching while glamping. The photo below shows the hand sewing that I did when we travelled to see the Solar Eclipse. However on this trip, I will be bringing my new portable sewing machine with me. I have a whole list of needed supplies for the classes that I will be taking. That was helpful! I will be making the Random Stars Quilt and a T-Shirt Quilt. They have indoor space for the classes and for free-time sewing. At the campsite, I can set up my sewing machine on the indoor table if the weather is bad. If the weather is good, I may sew on the campsite picnic table. I am playing that by ear.

I am particularly excited about the T-Shirt Quilt because I will be using science-related T-shirts from when I was a high school science teacher and a science education professor at the university. The Random Star Quilt is beautiful as well.  I am pre-cutting fabric before I leave.

Slow Stitching before the Eclipse

​​I plan on doing a shake-down glamping trip with sewing to make sure that I have everything I need.  This is going to be so much fun. I will try to take photos and do interviews so that I can share them here.  However, mainly I am going to have fun. For information about the RV Quilters group, see our Facebook Group Page!
