Yesterday I worked on the next Double 4 Patch quilt, the 4 patches paired with 5" charms--
Lots of B/W 4 patches but also burgundy, gold, yellow, brown, red, green, and blue. I need 126 pairs for a quilt. They are ready for layout the next time I sew. Please see everyone's design wall posts at Patchwork Times.
I love planting and growing things.
A picnic table does double duty as a base for my satellite, and a place for my plants. Tomatoes, purple/white petunias, and yellow pansies. The bottom pots are planted with morning glory, sweet peas, moon flowers, mallow, hollyhock, and other flowers. Most are perennials but a few annuals. My flower beds are planted with an assortment of flower seeds--I have great faith in planting seeds! I still need to buy some flowers to put in my pots.
A crock pot is a handy item, I have a small one for when its just me, today I set it outside to cook--french dip sandwiches.
Why outside? I only have so much counter space, and there is a plug in on the outside of my camper. It does throw off a lot of heat and it can heat outside!
Friday there was a package in my mailbox from Trudi. I have never met Trudy--only through email. This winter she was making wallets and offered to send me one. I was speechless when I opened it--
Do you see all the pockets? The credit card slots? The zipper pocket? The wonderful fabrics?? Check out the quilters on the front!! I immediately emptied my old wallet and filled this one. It holds everything, even my cell phone! Trudi--Thank you so much!!! Quilters are the best people!!
Weekly Goals--
Sew on Double 4 Patch
Bricks & Stepping Stones
That's it, that's all I have at the camper. Its going to be a busy week.

What a wonderful gift! Lots of handy pockets (and that clasp/grommet: those can be tricky to put in). The double four-patch/nickel looks promising. Hope you have a good week, Lori.
Wonderful blocks. I like your picnic table holding the satellite--hate those on all the roofs! Crock pot cooking happens in my garage at times :) That is definitely a WOW wallet.
What a clever little wallet and a generous friend. Can't wait to see how your blocks will come out.
That's a wonderful wallet! Life at the camper is good!!! Are you ready for some more thunder, lightning & rain? It's on its way. Just looked at the radar map on Accuweather.
Trudy did a great job on the wallet. I love all the pockets and slots.
Looks like you are settling in to your home away from home. Enjoy.
