Hand Quilting A Must When Roughing It

I went camping with friends, last Thursday through Sunday.  We stayed at the Lafferty Campground, which is 22 miles northwest of Council, Idaho.  We had a relaxing time.  We went exploring and for walks, and I went wading in the creek.  There was a rabbit in #2 and a rabbit in #3; we were in #8.  There was no one else at the campground, except for chipmunks and Mr. Snake. I had time for napping, reading while napping, and napping while reading. 

I also did some hand quilting.  Marsha, Astrid, and I are doing The Civil War Nine Patch Challenge.  I have my quilt top all pieced and I am hand-quilting it.  I brought it on the camping trip to work on, since we are roughing it and have no electricity.  

I tossed my camping quilt on a nice warm rock, after I asked that nice little garter snake if I could sit on one of his rocks, where I sat and got a good amount of hand-quilting done.  I still have a long way to go, however.

Saturday afternoon we had a thunder and lightening storm with lots of rain, so we stayed in the camper, where I did a little more quilting.  It is starting to look rather rustic, like a Civil War quilt should.
