You might be wondering why G and I would be going on a Quilt Diet and how we are going to adjust on the road?! It is not what you think! On our last big Quilt Road Trip, where we were traveling from Arizona Quilts to 3 Dudes Quilting and then on to The Olde World Quilt Shoppe...and all those other fabulous shops in between, there was an ongoing discussion about our RV. We love it, but does it fit the needs and type of camping we like to do??? After we got home and were just kicking tires at RV dealers and shows, G happened to mention that we could only pack 600 lbs of stuff in the RV????!!!  I looked over at him and said, "Well, as I see it, you and I use up a big chunk of that change!"

How do we remedy this? First off, we sold our RV! Second, we started a new healthy eating lifestyle. Then we took a long hard look at the ups and downs of our camping life. And, for the kind of life we lead, we decided to choose a different type of camping vehicle that would afford us more flexibility. A small off road travel trailer which will allow more flexibility and a higher weight limit. The travel trailer is smaller than the RV and takes some creative packing, but the way I see it, this might be the perfect Quilt Diet. I had NO understanding that there was a weight limit to what you can pack into these vehicles...but, now that I do, I am going to keep track of every pound I lose because a pound less of me and G means space for approximately 3-4 yards of quilting cotton!!! This Quilt Diet may be the most motivating "diet" I have ever been on!!!



Now that we are home for a bit, waiting on the arrival of our newest family member, I have been working on Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show quilts! I finished the binding on my Great Granny Squares (one more quilt to bind). I love how my fabric choices played together! I hope you are able to come visit the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show...I'll have 4 quilts on display!

Hope your June is filled with Stitching, gardening and warm weather!!
