Tour of our 2022 Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQ

Thanks for the adventures, Kacey. It was harder than we thought to say goodbye. BUT, it's time for a new adventure. Quilters, crafters and RVers, we're going to need a ton of help and advise. Remember, the budget and rig (Cherokee Wolf Pup 16fq) are both VERY small. Though we don't always have time to respond, please know that we read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. We appreciate all the help we can get, and we are literally taking notes. :O)

I’m just new to quilting too! Let our adventure begin!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

So great to know that we are not the only beginners. ;)

[@sarahdavidson8285]

Love watching you I think I will start a quilt with you enjoy your new home

[@GrassRootsLiving]

That would be awesome! We could all start together. Thanks so much for following our adventures!

[@cathyrowe594]

When I lived in a camper I made sure everything in it did double duty. All tables had to have storage drawers, the sofa was a hide-a-bed, my chest of drawers held the TV/DVD on top, etc. I also had a piano bench for a coffee table & filled the space under the lid with my sewing gear & patterns. My sewing machine sat on top when I sewed. A wooden kitchen chair held my press-n-cut pad & travel iron off to the right & a small foldable drying rack held my fabrics/strips in front of the piano bench. It was tight but definitely doable & I even managed to make a quilt that won a blue ribbon at our county fair! Hope that gives you some ideas to try in your camper.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing them. :)

[@donnarichey144]

I thought you were flushed standing by your hubby. LOL Love watching you guys.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I was! Every time I stand by him I get flushed. lol :)

[@theresazachert4786]

Great camper. Lots of safe travels. Love you❤️

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thank you so much, Theresa! We love you too!

[@MagicHeide]

I use an old toolbox to hold my notions and sewing tools. It latches, holds scissors, cutters, some rulers, thread, bobbins, sewing machine needles & hand sewing needles, pins, thread spools, marking pencils, a battery powered pencil sharpener (from Dollar Tree), bobbins in a case, fusible interfacing, ribbon, a few fat quarters (1/4 yard cuts of fabric) and larger scraps (I use them to lead fabric, test out my tension, try stitches). Often there is room for my current pattern, too. The toolkit fits into small spaces easily. I also recommend you get a cutting mat.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the many great suggestions!!! It is greatly appreciated. :) :) :)

[@lindaheckert8495]

Thanks so much for wonderful comment. We do love hearing from our friends in Australia!

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Congratulations on your new trailer! I’m so excited for you. I think the idea on storing your Featherlite in the second bench is a great idea. I If you knock out the panel in that bench , you could easily access a container containing your quilting tools and notions(excellent lists by others in comments). I use a small, plastic toolbox-mine is a pink one to support Breast Cancer research. Keep Your Daydream share their storage ideas on their channel. I think it would be a good idea to install a wall mount medicine cabinet with a lock to corral your toiletries, since you travel so much. It would certainly make breaking camp a lot simpler. It’s really important to know the size of your space-windows, bed, cupboards, etc.-for when you’re shopping. I use the Measure app to do this. You just take photos of your space and add the measurements in the app. Then you always have the information at hand. Safe travels, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Love all your great advice! Love it. :) Thanks for sharing your ideas. :)

[@jennygill1594]

Love your adventures and so happy you have a new van. I call myself the random quilter, what ever comes to mind I try and sew and not perfect. Have fun, stay safe and see you next week. Love love from Jen in Australia 💕💕🇦🇺🇦🇺🥰 happy sewing

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Love that! We will try and keep that it mind- a random quilter. :)

[@jessicacook346]

Welcome to the fun worlds of quilting and RVing in a TT. Hubby had a camper shell on the back of our pickup. We store everything we do not need all the time. You can create all kinds of cubbys in the back of the truck. If you can find a Singer Featherweight sewing machine, you will reduce weight and they do not have computer parts that can tire after a lot of bouncing around. Command Strip hangers are a life saver. You can hang baskets and a small design wall or pictures and quilts from them.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

You will be happy to know that there is a Featherweight in our future. :) Thanks for the tips!

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

Sizes are up to you: cutting mat, ironing mat, rotary cutter, scissors, seam ripper, small iron, rulers, squares, straight pins, safety pins, threads, quilt clips, an idea journal, and fabric…..and don’t forget about storage boxes (I use plastic with locking handle lids) to keep everything all together and easy for you to get at when the mood strikes to do a bit of creating! 💕👵🏻

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks!

[@saracecil719]

You will have so much fun buying your supplies and a sewing machine. I think a singer featherweight would be great for you since it is small and compact. In addition to the supplies recommended by others I’d suggest a magnetic pin cushion or you can also use Sew Tites which are super small and strong. Magic pins, in fine (ones with aqua blue ends) are my favorite pins. They are easy to grip and easy to find if you drop one. I would also highly recommend quilters select rulers. They have a grippy texture on the back to stay put when cutting fabric. They are on the expensive side but we’ll worth it for the stability. Other rulers will slide around on fabric when you cut if you don’t hold them steady. Most important have fun and enjoy learning your new hobby!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the tips! They are greatly appreciated! Also, thanks for watching. :)

[@craftytraveler9238]

Congratulations on your new camp trailer. I wish you many happy travels. I am sure you will figure out the entire sewing quilting storage thing. Can't wait to see you sew your firs seam. May the 1/4" be with you.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We actually understand the 'may the 1/4 be with you' now. lol Thanks so much for your support. We hope to meet you one day. :)

[@pattipowers7419]

Anna on quilt roadies when they had a small class c motor home she put her sewing stuff in a cooler including a small machine. She then used the cooler for an extra seat and or a footstool.. Good Luck, Patti

[@GrassRootsLiving]

So cool! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing it!

[@MelNetteLivingFreeZipCodeless]

Congratulations y’all!! We’re so excited for you. Such a beautiful RV. Be safe friends love ya ♥️

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks guys! We are loving it! It might be our favorite RV yet. It fits our needs perfectly. :)

[@lsparker24]

One more thing: an ironing board is important and is super easy to make. My travel board is 11x14 inches. It’s a piece of plywood wrapped in a couple layers of batting and covered with twill fabric. Or you can use the silver fabric meant for heat. It’s all neatly stapled on the back side with a staple gun. I also have a wool mat the same size which just lays on top. Good luck!! Have fun!! 🤩

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We will need something that small for sure. Thanks again!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Nice camper! I would definitely use the space under the couch and the bed for storage. You could also put corner hanging shelves in the bathroom, for storage in there.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the ideas. We really like the corner hanging shelves idea especially. Thanks!

[@D9P323]

YAAAAY! HAPPY QUILTING, YOU'LL BE GREAT.....buy precuts, that's Jenny's ally....buy a cutting mat, rotary cutter, scissors and a good ruler....obvi a sewing machine and an ironing board and iron....they do have a portable foldable ironingboard slash cutting mat I think from olfa. All of your items can be tucked away easy in a rolling sewing machine case. Definitely buy schmetz needles Watch Jenny's tutorials, they're so so helpful

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! We agree Jenny's tutorials will be a must do. :)

[@marleneo2581]

Love your new home. We also have a Wolf Pup. WalMart has a nice starter set that includes basic starter tools: rulers, rotary cutters, a cutting mat plus other items. They also have a June Talior Cutting/pressing mat while your there pick up a small iron, spray starch, maybe a small spray bottle. Safe travels.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! It is great to hear from another Wolf Pup owner. I had no idea about Walmart having these things. Thanks!

[@roserocker62]

Oh my goodness i love love love your camper!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️. I cannot wait to see you guys next month , because I’ve started a “sewing kit” for you . To answer your question , you can really pack up easily using one bin . I keep going back to when you had the truck camper that you needed to remove stuff out of the bathroom to shower. It took a matter of minutes , What I would do is have my machine , my notions which is your thread ,scissors ,ruler ,rotary cutter , baby iron , your project , you’re cutting mat, which I will gladly show you when you come , it can all fit in a clear plastic tote with a lid that you could put in the shower when you’re traveling or when you want to clean off your kitchen table you could put everything in one tote and then put it back in the shower when you’re not using it. That’s what I would do if I had your camper, which I absolutely am in love with that I would love for my Ford Explorer !! To start with quilting you need very basic things ( hence why I’m putting together something for you guys ).. sewing machine Thread / thread catcher bag Pair of Scissors just for fabric, not to cut a Pooh hose 😂. Folding combination cutting mat/ ironing pad, ( they offer different sizes, I’d start small to stay compact) Little iron Design boards ( which I’m in process of making

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We are so looking forward to our visit with you next month. Thanks for all the ideas. :)

[@gertyglockenschpitle7711]

I would love to see a video at MSQC or another quilt shop of buying starter quilting supplies! Try out several sewing machines and buy the one you like. Buy from a shop who gives lessons on sewing and machine matainance. Pick a beginner pattern and buy just what you need for that quilt, you can always add more supplies, you don't need to get everything day 1. Most of all have fun!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Noted! Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! We are actually thinking of doing a starter pack video. You have fun as well!

[@teresamcbrayer2549]

You can put clear totes of sewing items in your shower. Easy to access

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! We already keep our laundry basket in the shower, but we definitely see your point. :)

[@GrammySx4]

We are campers, not full timers. But I have a small light weight sewing machine that goes where we go. You will need a small cutting mat, a rotary cutter, a good pair of scissors, a small iron and a pressing mat. A ruler, I likes 4”x16” and a 2.5”x 8”. A seam ripper, and thread. I have a plastic box with a locking lid that will hold those items. Layer cake are 10” squares usually 40 in a pack, of coordinating fabric , jelly roll is 2.5” strips 40 in a roll, charm pack are 5” squares 40 in a pack, honey bun are 1.5 in strips. As a newbie maybe start with a layer cake or jelly roll . Find a pattern that uses those pre cuts and only buy what you need to make that pattern. Jordan fabrics and MSQC both have excellent tutorials for both the new and advanced quilter. Keep it simple don’t over buy , you will be overwhelmed when you find you have no place to put away your things. I hope this information is helpful, accuracy in both cutting and stitching are the keys to a successful beautiful quilt. Enjoy and God Bless

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Yes, this info was very helpful! Thanks!

[@donnar.9244]

We had a truck camper, now a 5-WH, but husband wants another truck camper for short trips, SMH, the jacks always made me nervous! In small space of truck camper my FIL made storage under dinette seats, making removable foundation boards under cushions . He also made small racks to hang on walls here/there. Cloth pocket organizers are helpful. I have a dbl sided one. Shoe type ones can be shortened, cut in rows, hung up or attached. I noticed your big fridge right away in your video, yippee! Congrats! I watch MSQC all the time, but have yet to make a quilt. On our recent camping trip I thought of bringing my new machine, but then wondered about all I’d need to pack away safe for the bumpy ride. I’ll follow the tips you get

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We are getting so many wonderful tips! Thanks for sharing yours as well. Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching!

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Congrats on the new rig. Hope y'all enjoy it. We are in the mist of that search as well. The equipment I am no help. lol I think you got a good group following you that will hook you up with all the information you can handle. lol

[@GrassRootsLiving]

LOL Yes, we have gotten a bunch of info from our group. Hopefully, you will find the perfect rig for you. Good luck on your search. :)

[@nnickerson7636]

Very nice camper. If your not going to use all of your fridge, you could put your material in baggies and store it in there. Dont forget an iron, they have mini irons if you dont want a full size one.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! I had almost forgot about mini irons.

[@janetlopez2861]

Hi, so excited for your new travel trailer. As a new sewer, I suggest purchasing a machine from a store that will include beginning sewing classes. There are so many items for quilting. What I find as necessary for starting out are: a rotary cutter, a good pair of fabric scissors, seam ripper, cutting mat, iron, wool iron matt, a cutting ruler that makes sense to you. These are just basics. Have fun.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! I really like the idea of getting a sewing machine from a store with beginning classes. :)

[@marciaedwards9202]

You don't need a sewing machine to patchwork. I hand sew everything and love it. Start with something small possibly a shopping bag or a storage bag. Main thing whatever you do enjoy it.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Good to know! We have actually talked about doing everything with just a needle and thread. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@kquitberg4297]

There will be times when you’ll really want to spread your fabric out to cut it, you might just really have a large piece. I would call quilt shops where ever you may be-many have classrooms with tables and chairs and they will often let you come in and use their tables. Of course you’ll need a small sewing machine. You might start off with small projects like table runners, placemats, pillow cases, potholders. And make sure you watch Jenny’s Jellyroll race-it’s a perfect quilt for a beginner.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the tips! They are greatly appreciated! Also, thanks for watching. :)

[@jobabs]

Love your cozy camper! I would think a clear plastic tub to hold your quilting supplies would work. It's portable, so could move it whenever you needed to. It could serve as a foot rest or coffee table when sitting on the couch. Or, that space under the dinette bench would work, too. Start small, start slow. Don't buy fabric just to have on hand (a 'fabric stash'), buy fabric only for the project you're working on. Like Jenny said, you need a little place to sew, a little place to iron, etc. Pre-cut terms: Fat quarter: a quarter yard of fabric that's 18" by 21", roughly. (Instead of 9" by 42" off the fabric bolt). 4 fat quarters equals 1 yard of fabric. Many times a collection of fabric will be in a fat quarter bundle, so it all coordinates and matches. Jelly Roll: usually 40-42 coordinating strips of fabric, 2.5" wide by the width of the fabric long (40-42"). In total, approx. 2.9 yards of fabric. Layer Cake: 40-42 cuts of coordinating fabric that are 10" by 10" square. Roughly 2.78 yards of fabric total in a layer cake . Charm Pack: 40-42 cuts of coordinating fabric that are 5" by 5" square. (4 charm packs equals 1 layer cake, in terms of fabric totals). Those are the main pre-cuts used. Layer cakes are very versatile, in that they can be cut into quarters to get 5" squares (4 charm packs equals 1 layer cake in terms of total fabric yardage), or into 4 equal strips 2.5" wide, etc. Pre-cuts generally cost more than buying fabric off the bolt, but all the coordinating of fabrics is done for you so you don't have to worry about it, AND it's easy to store.

[@suehorn4182]

I would consider doing EPP. English paper piecing. It’s hand sewing,but it’s fun and it doesn’t take up much space.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I will definitely look into EPP! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

[@mkenny3895]

Hi from Vancouver. I have the identical TT, luv it❤️ I’ve used mine for quite a few months now so I’m familiar with the space. I find the fridge huge and use it as a pantry for everything food. Now I’ve got more cabinet space. I use cupboards over the table for my sewing supplies. I put my sewing machine under the bed and have plastic totes under there too. I’ve got small quilts hung on the walls for color. I was thinking u might use wall space for visibly displaying your fabrics something like your towel rack above the toilet but more complementary to fabric display. Enjoy my/your trailer:)

[@GrassRootsLiving]

So cool you have the same one! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@janetlopez2861]

For a sewing machine I suggest a Baby lock Jubilant or Brilliant. They are well made, user friendly, and have the options that a helpful for quilting, such as needle up needle down.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We are getting a lot of recommendations for a Babylock sewing machine. Thanks!

[@GeminiPeg]

Layer cake=10” squares, charm pack= 5” squares, jelly roll= 2 1/2” strips. These terms are from Moda Fabric so there are different names from other companies. Each pack has fabric from a designer that coordinates so no matching fabrics. Get a small lightweight travel machine to start, a 12x18 cutting mat and a rotary cutter. Every quilter has their favorite thread, pick a brand and get white, beige and gray to start. Hope you found some wall decor in Liberty.😊

[@GrassRootsLiving]

My wife told me about you! She said it was so much fun talking with you. Thanks so much for all the wonderful suggestions and vocab. Also, thanks for following our channel. :)

[@alyshabest2824]

Sewing machine, creative grid rulers, pins, fabric clips, rotary blade cutter, and a cutting mat. watch some of Jenny or Fat-quarter shop you tube videos. Choose a free quilt pattern, go to the store with the pattern and buy your fabric and any specialty templates. Watch the video for the pattern you choose again and begin cutting your fabric.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

For some strange reason, KZbin sent your comment to our spam box. I am just now seeing this comment. Sorry for the late reply. Thanks so much for all the tips!

[@lsparker24]

I’m new to camping and you are new to quilting! 😁 I think we can help each other! I bought an Eversewn Sparrow for travel. It comes with a small table attachment that is very important to have. Quilts can get heavy and the table helps keep fabric from dragging down. I’ve seen most other basics listed in other comments. The most important piece of advice I can give you is figure out how to get that perfect 1/4” seam and have fun!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

That is so cool! I think it would be great if we help each other. Great suggestions. Thanks :)

[@cherylsupples105]

I would download a basic quilting book. And go step by step through how to learn to quilt and then you can decide what you need to do the type of quilts your going to do. Plus you get all terms log your. My favorite has nine lesson on beginning quilting, it’s called, Beginning Guide to Quilt Making by Jeri Simon. It took fear away and helped me to use a rotary cutter, mat etc. I do like the cutting board and ironing board combo. It flips from one to the other. Enjoy relax and take it one step at a time. You don’t need to have a lot to quilt. I would say one machine wither it be a featherweight or a small Janome or Babylock. A small place to keep quilting supplies. You could use a camping hanging bag as well. We bought at the rev place we used for this type of stuff in our pop up years ago. Use a little of your wall space by the bed. That way stuff is handy and you could get to it without moving things. Plus, I would think some of quilting supplies would be handy for other things.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks so much for all these great suggestions! I will look into the guide by Jeri Simon. I think the featherweight is a great idea as well. :) Thanks again!

[@melindarx]

Love it! I think you need a sewing machine! 🤣 Honey buns, jelly rolls, and layer cakes are certain cuts of a fabric line! There are also so Jolly Bars from Fat Quarter Shop in Texas! I think you’d love a featherweight like Jenny, or maybe even a small Babylock! Love this sew much!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! We are hearing a lot of people suggest Babylock's and featherweights. Thanks again for following along on our adventures. :)

[@kathyann7153]

I have my small featherweight singer machine which I repaired. I do not bring a digital screen sewing machine because of the bouncing of trailer, scissors to cut fabric only. Small scissors to cut threads. seam ripper, rotary cutter and mat the other side has a pressing mat on it. A 6in wide ruler and small 2 1/2 inch ruler. Usually I carry grey or white thread for piecing fabric pieces together because it can go with most colors of fabric. Small package of hand sewing needles. Only bring a1/4 sewing machines foot. It fits neatly in the bottom of the closet or under the bench. We have a Nucamp Tag 400.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We have our sights on a 1951 featherweight. Looks like a great sewing maching. :) Thanks for the tips!

Add under the bed storage buy a nice but small sewing machine to start off you don’t need a lot off things to start . Jelly rolls and fat quarters for material to start a easy pattern , a cutting mat about the size of the top of your table a ironing mat, and small iron, cutting ruler ., and a rotator cutter. Most important good cotton thread. Just buy enough to do your first quilt! After that no advise you will be on you way! Have fun! Been quilting 40 + years get your husband involved. Sue

Wish it were longer to but we are not drawing retirement yet and must still worl. Thanks again!

[@susaneshelman9652]

Shopping list: sharp pair of shears ( longer bladed scissor), a rotary cutter (like a VERY sharp pizza cutter) and a mat and ruler (1/8” thick, 6” or 6:5” wide and 12”-24” long, depending on mat size.) you need a small ironing board and an iron ( which doesn’t need to be expensive, but should get hot. You can use a spray bottle instead of steam to make it last longer.) hand needles and thread.that gets you by until you get a machine, which should take a while as you need to try out different ones. You probably want to buy one GOOD machine instead of 2 cheaper ones. Buying a more expensive USED machine can save money and will be less frustrating than a cheaper one that acts up on you. That way you are also only storing one machine! I see you have wall space behind the dinette where you may want to add baskets or Trones shoe organizers from IKEA..

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great ideas! Love the spray bottle idea. :)

I’d get a sewing machine (BabyLock Brillant is a good quality), cutting mat, rotary cutter, rulers (creative grids are the best), pins, frixon pen (ink disappears), a small travel iron, they also have those cut and press mats (one side is for cutting and the other side is for pressing seams) and of course fabric (I’d start out using precuts) and background fabric. Also don’t forget Jenny Doans tutorials! Kimberly Jolly with Fat Quarter Shop also has great tutorials. Have fun!!

"Honey bun" 1 ½" inch wide by width of fabric (wof) Jelly roll 2½"in by wof, mini charm aka candy packs 2½"sq,charm pack 5" sq, layer cake 10"sq, fat ¼ is 22"x18" fabric, fat ⅛ is 22"x9" fabric, jolly bar only sold by fat quarter shop is 5"x10" all these packs usually have 40 to 42 pieces except mini charms which have 82. Have fun

Hi guys! Congratulations on a new trailer (camping wagon as it is called in Norway) Have no good advice on location, but support you with your new hobby and new adventurer. Hope to see more of the technical and what it looks like on the outside.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Good to know! We already have some ideas of things we want to do. Hopefully, we can put together an outside video soon.

[@suzanneyerks.3013]

Will you sew by machine or by hand? There is English paper piecing that you do by hand. The tools and supplies you would need are more mobile than if you were doing patchwork by machine.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

This is Dean. Funny you should ask. I am doing an EPP mug rug project. There is very little I will do with the sewing machine. :)

[@carmenmarialinne2650]

USE Every square foot of Wall Space from the Ceiling down in 13 inch sections and envision putting Wire Hanging Baskets around the Ceiling. In these Wire Hanging Basket Units you will store: 1) Fabrics that you fold around Comic Book Card Stock Boards. That gives you the ability to store fabric Vertical....in Rows like a library shelf and you can SEE the fabric easily. 2) Cutting Tools you need: Pinking Shears, Large and Small Rotary Cutters, Large and Small Cutting Mat. (FISKAR is a good brand for these tools) 3) When buying a sewing machine....get an Embroidery Machine! That hugely expands your versatility in creating professional items. (especially if you plan to SELL the creations online) 4) Utilize a Peg Board unit to hang items to store: IKEA has metal and particle board units in various sizes. See their catalog. 5. Important: to do hours of sewing, a posture chair is vital. Figure out where you can sit for extended times with workspace on each side of the sewing machine. Good Luck!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Great ideas!!! Thanks!

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Your little camper is awesome!! Looks pretty big to me lol. And I would totally have thought food when I heard jelly roll! I would have been like, where's the food? lol. Didn't realize quilters named their stuff after food. I do love food. Maybe I could become a quilter LOL

[@GrassRootsLiving]

ROFL! Gurl, we got to hang out more often. :) Let's get together and quilt and have jellyrolls. :)

[@annielyst]

And there are Layer Cakes (10" squares), Fat quarters (18" x 22"), and charm squares (5" squares) to go with those 2.5" strips (Jelly Rolls). Lots of quilt lingo.

[@reesekolcow6136]

Before you buy anything- get “Marianne Fons & Liz Porter Quilters Complete Guide”, You will have everything you ever want to know about quilting in it. And remember- back in pioneer days they had a needle & scissors- they cut up worn material & pulled thread out of clothes. So you can go as primitive or as modern with tools as you wish.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

I love this. I've been so overwhelmed with the amount of stuff that we "need" to buy to get started. We live on an extremely tight budget, so I've been a little nervous about what we're getting ourselves in to. This is a great reminder that it's okay to start small and keep things simple. Thanks - Shalane

[@BoxVanDee]

nice new home. Enjoy your new adventure!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks so much. We always try to enjoy all of our adventures to their fullest. Just like I know you do as well. :)

[@JudithBrummett]

If IF if...you are only quilting, you need a beginner sewing machine, rotary cutter and med size mat that will fit on your counter space (measure b4 you buy) and a small iron and ironing mat. I use the press and cut. Neutral color threads such as DK gray LT gray cream white black (basic). You need basic sewing tools, seam ripper (ABSOLUTE!) scissors in a cpl sizes that are used for thread and fabric ONLY! I like the Dura sharp pins and a magnetic bowl, seam clips are an option too. RULERS! I like a long 6" ruler and I have a 5" square and a 12" square as well as a 3X6 and thats all. Basic. most of all my supplies including fabric I get from Walmart because they are in every town and I can buy more if I mis-cut or run out of fabric. Oil for your machine and extra needles is also a good thing. A good resource for books is local libraries you don't have room for a lot of books. I would suggest getting a fabric "family" in a color that you both like or one for each of you and a block pattern that is simple and use up all the fabric you buy on that first project and perfect it. I know it is amazing to go into the quilt stores and buy buy buy fabric BUT! as a beginner my suggestion is again Walmart so it doesn't hurt your feeling if you mess up. Watch all kinds of KZbin videos and ENJOY!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Wow! Thanks for all the great info!

[@christinehoughton9209]

It all looks great. Good luck with your new RV. Put hanging moisture proof baskets in any available wall space or corner for sewing supplies and fabric.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! Moisture proof baskets are something that I hadn't thought about. Thanks!

[@kathyberlincourt4542]

I just love your new home! It's wonderful. How about a Singer 221 (Featherweight). Very small but sews like a dream. Just make sure you get instructions on how to care for it, oil and grease. In it's case it will fit in a tote and smaller machine means more room for fabric. Jenny at MSQC has a great starter kit it has everything including quilting the three layers together. I would be very happy to share some of my duplicate quilting items. I have extra rulers, pinking sheers, roller cutters and more. Also get a subscription to Block Magizine, I think they offer a digital version only. Jenny is an awesome teacher. She taught me from the beginning. Best of luck if I can help in anyway please let me know. I think of you almost every day because of the sewing charm key chain. Love you guys!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! I am so happy to hear that you think of us daily because of that key chain. I wanted the surprise gift to fit the person who won it. :)

[@wendingourway]

I'm sure you will miss the truck camper, but now you have so many amazing adventures to look forward in the new rig! I love it! Especially being small! Just perfect! I'm really seriously looking at the Travel Lite 590, but finding one, especially in Canada, has been virtually impossible. The one thing that I can add to the organization ideas is to use clear totes so that you can see what is inside and use sticky notes with their contents too. You are so excited...it is so infectious...and so looking forward to what is next! Bruce and Otis

[@GrassRootsLiving]

We are going to miss our truck camper as well. We really loved it. However, you are correct, we still have many great adventures ahead of us. Like the idea of the 590 but Travel Lite are hard enough to find in the USA so I can only imagine what it will be like in Canada. You may have to drive to the Yukon for it. ;) Thanks again for your kind words. :)

[@TignerAdventures]

The shower doesn't seem tall enough for Dean. LOL. My wife has done some quilting and it was amazing how much there is to it. We don't do that anymore and I have no idea where you will put everything. Sorry. Life is an adventure - have fun!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

LOL I am 6' tall and I think the shower is 6' 1" tall. I just barely fit, but it works. :) It is so great to hear from you again. I hope everything is going well. You are correct, life is adventure and it is all about the fun. :)

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the tips! Sometimes I get the feeling that you are excited to see us next month. ;) Thanks!

[@lorrainemcgeough9596]

Good luck and happy and safe travels in your new RV. To start with your new hobby it will take some time to figure out what you like to do but I would suggest a small sewing machine such as a featherweight or small Janome. I love baskets to keep each project in and you can just pull it out of storage and you have everything available to you. In the basket keep your fabrics, scissors, seam ripper (if needed), pattern, rotary cutter and you are set. You can get a small cutting mat and travel iron would help. There are many quilt shops that have a beginning set to start out. Also, I started out quilting many years ago and found that beginning quilt classes helped alot with tricks and tips. Your new adventure will be fun to watch and I hope you share all videos of your experiences.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! We hope to share our experiences with a video from time to time. At first, we were a little worried because we have seen the work of so many great quilters and we were a little intimidated by it all. However, the support we have felt from so many is overwhelming and is giving us a lot of confidence. Thanks again!

[@BackroadsArtStudio]

What a beautiful goodbye to Kacey! Live in it for awhile and you will find the perfect spot :). My NEW sewing machine will be in a small storage ottoman and my TOTE (I am only allowing 1 for fabric) will be in the floor of my closet. I also have a basket that I will keep my only work in progress in and I will ONLY tackle 1 project at a time. Now my paints take up a small space but I have lots of those small spaces filled :). I love the new camper and I can not wait to see it in person my friend, hint, hint....

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Shalane says "Hint, hint yourself" get your butt out here. lol ;) :D I didn't even know that you were a quilter. Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching!

[@gaylepryor9927]

I started out small. Working on 4 inch foundation paper pieced log cabin blocks using scraps. Small cutting board and ruler. Using the foundation paper kept my sewing straight and my blocks square and supplies were minimal.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! Love the idea with the foundation paper. :)

[@debbiedobbins6785]

Wow! What a cute trailer. Going from a truck camper to a travel trailer is going to provide you with so much more room. We still travel in our truck camper. It has a slideout so it feels much bigger. I have a 3 drawer storage bin in our bathroom. The bottom drawer is where I keep my current project and notions (tools of the trade if you will). I pack my sewing machine in the back seat of the truck. Don’t want it bouncing around too much. General items I take: Rotary cutter 5x15” MSQC Ruler Marking pen Prewound bobbins (4) Lg spool of thread (white) Wool mat for ironing 12x24” cutting mat Full size iron (don’t like the small ones) Both perfectly slotted trimmer rulers Seam ripper And fabric of course That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head. You guys are going to have so much fun with all that extra room. You could also get a sewing “bin” and maybe store it in one of the outside compartments. Have a marvelous weekend. So happy for you guys. 😊😊

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! We are so excited about having the extra room. :)

[@darlenevannoy1886]

Do not buy yards of fabric . I wish someone had started me out on precuts like Jenny and her Crew use for tutorials. Very little waste , no stressing on what fabric goes with this fabric or that fabric and best of all it only takes a fraction of space to have a few projects going on at once and a small nice medium priced range sewing machine . Happy quilting and safe travels. ❤️

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the tips! We will be looking for precuts. :)

[@bobbyhousley9877]

If you travel all the time, how do you work? Or attend church or be with family, etc

[@GrassRootsLiving]

These are great questions. We pick a spot in the USA that we want to explore and then find a seasonal job in that area. Our church is found in every state in the United States so we just find the nearest one next to where we have set up camp. We miss our grandchildren so much. We try to find a way to spend at least 4 to 6 months of the year in the area where they live. Those are 3 of the most common concerns for most people. As I said, it was great that you asked. Thanks!

[@KE5ZGZ]

Congratulations 🎊 on the new rig! You won’t know what to do with all that space!

Go see Jenny!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Saw her last week. She is so busy, but it is great to be around her. :)

[@DebsWay]

Your new home is REALLY nice!! What fun!! You will find that quilters -- any sewist, really -- has a lot of equipment and tools. Just start with the basics -- scissors, a rotary cutter, tape measure, a cutting mat, a sewing ruler, straight pins, thread to use on your project, and your fabric! There are a lot of quilting channels on YT but you've got a great resource in your friend, Jenny. She'll "hook" you up!! 😄 You can use your dining table for a craft table. Do you know yet what kind of sewing machine you're going to get? That is entirely a personal choice. I used to have a much larger machine with all the embroidery program disks and the embroidery hoops but I never used it enough to make it worth the cost of everything. I sold it months ago and -- not everyone knows this yet (I needed to work with it a bit before I videoed me using it) -- I recently bought a new machine that I just love. You don't need a big, fancy sewing machine to do any type of sewing but having one with some decorative stitches built in is a perk. You can also finish up the quilt on your machine instead of having someone with a long-arm quilt machine do that for you. I bought my new machine with the intention of doing everything myself: sew the quilt top together and do the quilting (sewing the quilt top, the batting, and the quilt backing all together). I hand-stitch the binding on the quilt but some people use their machine to do that, too. If you are able to take a beginning quilting class at one of the quilt shops you visited ( like at Jenny's), that's a great way to get started with sewing a quilt, too. My very first quilt was the log cabin quilt that I made in a class at the Sewing Studio (my favorite quilt store here). That was over 20 years ago and I still take the occasional class there to learn something new. Oh, I've gone on far too long here but I'm excited for you! A new home, a new hobby!! Wow!! I'll be watching to see how you set yourself up. I feel like I'm gathering info for my possible future! Take care!!

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! Yes, you are correct. We have a fantastic resource in our friend, Jenny!

[@sandybryan1543]

So exciting! We are converting a 7 x 16 enclosed trailer for our tiptoe into adventure and I am already trying to figure out where the quilting stuff will go.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Our trailer is 7x18 so hopefully we can help each other as we go. Thanks for watching!

[@andreawilke811]

So happy for you, start with a simple machine you don’t want a lot of stitches on it, very confusing. I started with Janome Gem , small, lightweight and usually supplies with the 1/4” foot and a walking foot for quilting. You need a simple beginner book, check out Pat Sloan’s books. You need to look through them and see which one you understand, you need a rotary cutter and cutting mat that will work on your counter, best to cut standing, an iron, I like the Panasonic cordless one, and I made a ironing board from an old tv table, just put batting and material on it and staple to the back, plenty of KZbin shows on that. This should be a could starting point for now. Have fun. You might need a bigger camper if you are like the rest of us quilters and can’t say no to fabric, it calls to you and tells you that you need to buy it.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions and for watching! I have in my notes now to find out about Janome Gem and Pat Sloan. :)

[@annielyst]

I have a Janome Gem too - nice size/weight to take to classes. It's great!

[@mjm3852]

Oh, I'm shocked! I like the idea of the murphy bed for a tiny trailer. I knit and crochet constantly but when I'm on the road I take a very minimal of my supplies and they sit on part of our dinette seating. We have the luxury of storage at my family property when we are stationary.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

[@karenross3457]

I am a quilter. However, if you can email Jenny Doan, you don't need my suggestions . They are wonderful people . I have had the opportunity to attend one or her trunk shows and met her. I also had a chance to talk to Jake, Misty's husband. Hopefully I will get to Quilt City next spring.

[@jodieritto9099]

I'm a quilter but haven't sewn in a camper yet. But at a minimum...sewing machine & its accessories, rotary cutter & mat, good scissors, acrylic rulers ( my 2 I always use are 2.5" x 8" & 5" x 15"), pins or wonder clips & of course fabric

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks! We will look into a Baby Lock Joy. :)

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

Forgot to mention 1 big thing. Living in a small space I’m sure you already know how important it is to keep things neat & put away as you go. Many quilters work in an atmosphere of “creative chaos.” But in an rv you can’t do that. You will have to stay neat & organized or you will have a disaster that could derail you at the very start. When I’m working on a project with a lot of pieces I keep them in ziplock baggies & label them so I know what I have. I’ve learned the hard way that it’s necessary. I even do that in the sewing room in my little mobile home that is my permanent home. I have a bunch of baggies that are part of my gear, just waiting for the next project.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Great idea on the baggies. You are correct, we really can't afford 'creative chaos' in a camper so small. :)

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

That new trailer looks great! You’re going to feel a little lost for a while with all that extra space. When I’m traveling I keep my sewing machine on the floor in the back seat of my truck so it doesn’t get bounced around as much. Everyone is already giving lists of supplies so I won’t duplicate that. Take advantage of Jenny, she will be your “gold mine” for info. The idea of a plastic bin in the shower isn’t bad. My brother & sister in law rarely shower in their MH bathroom, they use the showers in the rev parks & the shower is for storage. I usually prefer to use my TT shower just because I don’t have to carry stuff back & forth. Personal preference issue. But if everything is in 1 easy to move bin then the shower is great for portable storage space. I use my kitchen counter for my cutting/pressing space & the dinette table for the machine but that does mean a lot of moving back & forth because you usually press every seam as you sew it. A folding tv tray next to the dinette for pressing would save that & you should be able to find some place to tick it away when not using. Still would say use the kitchen counter for cutting because it’s a better height, saves bending over so much. I have a small travel iron which saves space but when you’re ready to press larger pieces a full size iron is much better. Love the idea of a toy hauler to make a craft room! Buy then I would need a bigger truck than my Nissan Frontier. I’m limited in the size of my TT by the towing capacity of my truck. Looking forward to seeing your first projects. And don’t be nervous. It will be a learning process. I look back at my first projects & see how far I’ve come. You will too.

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Thanks for the great suggestions and for watching! We especially love the idea of looking back at our first projects to see how far we have come. That takes a lot of pressure off of us in the learning stages. Jenny always says, "finish is better than perfect". ;)

[@susanjacobs6932]

Is there storage under the bed?

[@GrassRootsLiving]

Yes, there is inside storage under the couch and storage that can be access from the outside under the murphy bed part. Thanks for watching!

[@glendacrouch1877]

I am beyond excited for you and your hubby! I love that exact size of camper. I teach free Quilting classes every Saturday morning. I also found out that I could repair old unloved sewing machines. So having said that, you know I have to be thrifty. 😆 I would like to share with you honesty, don’t buy an expensive machine now. A basic Brother or Singer brand will do fine. Read and make sure it says the feed dogs can be switched to stay up or go down. Feed dogs are the moving teeth under the needle that help you move the material when you are sewing. I will list a few things you need at the end. But I really want to give you some advice on space. In the camper, find your Quilting storage area first!!! I would use under the table seat also. Measure it L x W x H. Know your space and never exceed that space. Do not buy more material than you need for your project. Over crowding and lack of organization will kill your joy. After reading and talking with Jenny, decide on a sewing machine. You honestly need only a few items. 1. Sewing Machine, it will probably come with a couple of needles, cleaning brush, small screw driver and a foot. 1/4” foot is great. (ask Jenny) 2.miniature steam iron ( Walmart or Amazon 15 bucks) 3.cut & press combo is my favorite ( this is a flat rotary cutting mat & ironing board) takes up less space! 4. 5” x 15” quilting ruler & a Rotary cutter 5. Scissors, pins & pin cushion 6. Start by making a easy 9 patch pattern. (Watch one of Jenny’s basic 9 patch Quilt tutorials.) 7. Select the amount & colors of material you need for the pattern & a good quality thread.( Get colors you love & want in your camper) Buy a TINY bit extra for a practice cutting & sample beginning sewing. 8. Now sew your blocks to make your Quilt Top. NOW HAVING SAID THIS I love to use the “Quilt as you go”method also. Many books & you tube tutorials on this. To actually quilt your quit, you will need 1.)batting, 2.) backing material, 3.) A quilting foot and or Free motion foot. You can get a soft cover storage bag holder for your machine & items. (Saves space vs a hard plastic cover) Save your scrapes in a zipper baggie for beautiful Scrappy free Quilt or many other things. I have a passion for Quilting. Feel free to message me on FB. Glenda Crouch an Okie! I love your channel! I hope this helps a little.
