Our annual camping trip to Island Park
#16
Hi Jordan,
I usually buy charm packs so that I can get the variety, but sometimes I have to fat quarters or quarter yards to get the variety. Then I buy yardage for the back and borders. I am one of those "have to match" type people, and doing it this way gets me what I want.

I forgot to tell you - the Monster fabric is glow in the dark, which really makes it fun.

Thanks for your kind words.
Dry camping for us means no electric, no water and no sewer, too. We do it every summer for at least a month. There is a trailer dump in a State Park about 5 miles away from where we camp. We buy a Senior Pass every year for about $10 and that let's us dump our tanks, get drinking water, and use their boat launch for free. We take the 5th wheel there about every 10 days and dump the black tank. We have about 6 five gallon water jugs, and my husband fills those when he goes to use the boat launch, so that keeps us in fresh water. And we have a generator, so we have power. I usually run it about 4 hours a day to keep my sewing machine going, and that keeps our batteries up. So, we are dry camping, but we do have access to the necessities. It is one of the pleasures of getting home to have a never ending supply of water and electricity, and being able to flush and forget. And it always amazes us how big our house seems after living in the 5th wheel for 4 or 5 weeks.

All of your quilts are beautiful. I love the matchy matchy of them too. But have to do something with the scraps.
For about 2 years I have been making quilt for donation from my Daughters and my scraps. Probably 75 - 80. That is way too much fabric to just toss. Some were matchy matchy, lots were/are just scrappies. I am nearing the end of them. Probably have another 6 or so quilts to make.
