I have been meaning to introduce myself for over a month now, but then I get distracted by the different messages, run out of time, and promise myself that I will do an introduction the next time. I am so happy I found you!

I am Sandy Weaver and I have been quilting for over 20 years. Two years ago, my DH and I took an early retirement, sold our home, and now we travel in our motorhome around the US. Now I am seeing our beautiful country and visiting every quilt shop or quilt show I happen to come across during our stay.

My motto: Have Fabric - Will Travel! :thumbup:

Welcome from Iowa. What a great and fun thing to be doing finding all the quilt shops and traveling together. Enjoy!

Welcome Sandy - what a wonderful opportunity for you and your husband to travel. Don't forget to come to the east coast and explore.

Welcome from southeast PA!

welcome!

Greetings from Colorado - You are a brave woman. The quilt shop hopping sounds wonderful. Living with my DH in that confirmed space not so much (hee hee).

Hope you enjoy your holiday

Welcome from the CA desert.

Hi Sandy, welcome on board!

If it would be me traveling, I would need a trailer for the motorhome, to put all the fabric in, I would be buying along the road.

Enjoy all of it!

Hi Sandy, welcome and Happy Holidays from Minnesota!

Enjoy your retirement. Merry Christmas from New York!

Welcome from Missouri. Enjoy your retirement! It would be wonderful to travel to all 50 States and really see our beautiful country. However; If DH and I were to travel like that we would have to find a motorhome that my quilting machine would fit into or I would be very homesick. Welcome aboard.

Hello, and welcome from Idaho!

Welcome from Ireland

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!

Hi Sandy and welcome from N.E.Ohio. Wish I could go with you. Happy holiday to you and yours.

Hello and welcome from Germany!

Thank you! We are in Key West for the winter and we do plan to travel up the east coast this summer. I'm not sure how far north we will go this year since there is a lot to explore along the way.

Thank you for the warm Welcomes! Funny how we all think a like when it comes to our quilting and fabrics. I find Space Bags are a traveling quilter's best friend. It is amazing the amount of fabric I can get into a RubberMaid tub after the air is sucked out of the bags. Of course, I did hear about the motorhome being a wee-bit overweight.

As far as confined space, it hasn't been too bad. We spend quite a bit of time outside exploring the area. A lot of campgrounds have Rec Centers and they don't mind me using a small area for sewing. I have even sat outside with my sewing machine. Which is nice as long as there is no strong breezes to blow away my blocks!

Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D

Welcome, be sure to keep a journal of something from each place you stop ( a detour sign, a special monument, etc) and make a quilt when you have 12 different ones,

Hello and Welcome from San Gabriel, California

Hello and welcome from Boston, Ma. Have fun traveling. What a nice way to retire.

Thank you! Oh yes, I want to see Canada too! We are hoping to make a trip through Canada one of these summers.

What a great idea! I am hard at work trying to finish my granddaughter's quilt for her birthday in March. I am hand quilting so it is slow going.

Once I am done, I can start with Florida. We have already traveled from Texas to South Dakota to Washington State and now we are settled in Key West for the winter. That would be too many States to make up.

We do keep journals through our blogs:
