I went for a hike through the state park the other day and was fondly reminded of the winter months I spent camping there. A couple years ago I challenged myself to camp out every month of the year. I started in May of 2009 and went through April of 2010. To be honest, the winter months were much easier for me than a couple of the summer months. As long as I was able to stay dry, I was able to stay warm. In the heat of the summer, there's not a lot one can do to get relief out in the woods. And if there are bugs swarming too....that's just miserable.
After I accomplished my camping goal, I wanted something to commemorate it. Sort of like when I was in girl scouts and would have gotten a badge. I thought it would be neat to make a quilt with achievement patches both to motivate me to continue trying new things and to tell a story down the road. So far this is the only one I've done. It looks like it'll be a long time before I earn a quilting patch.
