Introduction

 Welcome to my new blog dedicated to RV quilters and anyone who creates in a small space. 

My team and I - husband Paul and Remington the bull terrier - are currently visiting Tucson, Arizona. We've been traveling full time for over 2 years now, following nurse contracts around the country. We'll be in Tucson until November and then? Who knows. I would love to visit Idaho for a few months and then on to Alaska for the summer of 2024. Anything is possible when you live on wheels. 

My quilting history: I bought by first quilt book in 2001 and was instantly hooked. Bought my first real machine - a Janome MC6500 - in 2003 and became obsessed with all things quilts. I was going strong in 2010, working on a graduation quilt for eldest son, when I broke my arm and finished an entire paper pieced devil quilt single handed. Burnt out, I turned to knitting (after the cast). An entire decade was spent knitting, my poor machine collecting dust. 

Then in February 2021 we started traveling. And for some reason, my heart returned to quilting. So much had changed in ten years. Precuts!! Incredible fabrics and colors. New designs. And YouTube tutorials! I fell in love with the Bernina stitch regulator on display at a quilt show and purchased a B780. A bit of a diva compared to my Janome work horse but we have learned to love each other. Paul surprised me with a cutie frame this spring and now I'm unstoppable. 

So how do I manage all this in a few square feet? It can be tricky but I'll show you my process along the way. In the last year I've completed 2 king size quilts, a large twin and multiple throw size quilts. And my RV has not been altered or covered in fabric piles. Storage can be a problem - I do limit my stash size to a couple small boxes.
