The Historic Rajah Quilt Kit with Cotton and Steel Fabrics

Country Home by Lynette Anderson

Ann writes of her quilt, "I love tackling different subjects in my pictorial quilts. I’m particularly fond of the shapes of boats — the sleek, curved hulls designed to cut effortlessly through water. Rowboats are simple, elegant crafts. Powered by hand using oars, they seem to beckon to a slower, simpler time. This boat was partly swamped, having aged and fallen into disuse. But it was also filled with memories of times past…"

Anna & G On The Road is officially On The Road for 2017!!!
When traveling in an RV for extended periods of time you realize that all those items you thought you absolutely needed are like the cherry on the sundae..., in reality you could be happy with just a bowl of ice cream.
The number one suggestion I have is if you are going to actually machine piece, have all you pieces cut and labeled...but bring the left over fabric in-case you need to re-cut a piece.
I do travel with an iron...although I am on the hunt for one of those Panasonic cordless, and I also travel with a feather weight.
The one item I make sure I have space for is my hand stitching thread...I have learned a hard lesson in trying to bring only the thread I think I will need, and then to be stuck out in the desert without a Valdani or Aurifil shop in sight!!! Now I bring the box! Kinda of like having money hidden in your mattress.
And, so we looked for the road less traveled, or not, and brought along the mobile Bee Hive sewing room! Hope I meet some of you on the road!!
