    I've been living in my RV for 3.5 years since I lost my home in 2017 northern California fires and there hasn't been a day I haven't quilted something. I've been thinking of making videos, soon..... I made 6 quilt tops in the last two months in my RV, and I'll admit its cramped, but I make do. Today I had my jackknife couch removed and now I have so much room! I've got two sewing machines set up, a Juki tl18qvp and a Singer workhorse, a cutting table, a small countertop ironing board, and I pin my quilts on the edge of the slide out to see my work. So far it's working out just fine. Now, if I would just stop buying fabric....no more room for 1 more inch of fabric!

    This was so cute of Jenny and she is very humble. She is just a tad bit more than just a quilter. She runs an entire industry that virtually saved the little town of Hamilton MO. She must own about 20 separate quilt shops in the town and has quite the following on youtube. Thank you for showcasing her in another element of her life.

      What does "rockhound" mean? Happy to hear you're a quilter Bill. We need more men quilters. I worked for CPA firm in 70s in Houston TX. One CPA (Male in 40s) crocheted his wife the most beautiful sweaters. I envied her so much, cuz I love sweaters & wear w/silk scarves. Men can be better quilters than their wives...eek! (But true) There's a man in Ashville NC who makes beautiful 3D quilts. One day he just decided to give it a try, now he's full of 3D ideas (cubes, mazes, etc). Maybe y'all meet up at the Ashville Quilt Show, where I met them. I'm not in NC now though. I wish y'all safe travels & hope you continue to have fun quilting! Blessings to you & your wife, Lana :)

      My daughter and I plus 2 dogs and a 16 year old boy, camp from mid May to mid Oct at a little lake in Northern Mi. I have a 23 ft.trailer so it is roomy. I set up outside on the picnic table, under a canopy, so I can watch the lake. Extension cords are my friend. I don’t quilt but make garments. I take my Brother sewing machine and this year I will add my serger. I use a light weight folding table for cutting. It is easier than leaning over benches. I could potentially set up inside but I really love being outside unless it is raining. If it is too cold and windy I sit by the fire and read. I love camping.

    My grandmother took her treadle sewing machine with her while camping. Grandpa would fish and she would sew quilt tops while in the shade under a tree. I am actually hand quilting one of the quilt tops she put together. She used fabric from grandpa’s shirts to have enough scrap fabric to make a quilt. They both passed on years ago so I’ve had wonderful memories come while quilting on her quilt. Thanks for posting this. The timing is fun.
