Have you been following Ann Myhre's West Coast journey in her Airstream trailer? (Click here for Part 1: Lil Airstream and here for Part 2: Colorpods). Each week of her journey she'll be sharing a small project, and States in Stitches is great fun for travelers.

In this video, Ann shares what it's like to live down at the Noyo Harbor and to visit the nearby beaches. She's procured some incredible pieces off the beaches that one day will be used in some artwork. In the latter part of the video, Ann shows how to make a quilted road map to keep track of all the states visited. She calls it States In Stitches.

A few kits are available in Ann's Etsy shop at AnnMyhreDesigns. More kits will be available upon her return to Denver in March.
