    Quilt Shops? Barn Quilt Trails?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Sounds like a great adventure you are planning to undertake. I am new to the quilting world so I have only seen beautiful quilts on display at  South Jersey's, "Olde City Quilts"; https://www.oldecityquilts.com/. I visited them several times to view their longarm quilting machines. I definitely want to  visit the Paducah Museum. If I already had my Oliver, I would be visiting the upper New York quilting shops and enjoying the end of fall with all the colorful dropping leaves.

    Is Paducah also the home of the Hancock fabric shop? I would love to see Robert Kaufman and Hoffman fabrics. It took me an entire summer to obtain some of the Kaufman materials. How wonderful it would be to peruse their inventory and buy material there. 

    Hope you have great weather in your travels,

    Year-to-year changes of Elite I

    in General Discussion

    Gee, I haven't got my Elite II yet and I am already thinking about changes just following this thread. Susan's sofa idea was pretty impressive but I definitely need that dinette. Ken, David and others discussing  an old floor plan with a desk still has my mind spinning. Desk space is a priority in our house so we are still struggling  on how we are going to devote an area for our laptops and other electronic devices in the standard option. Thanks for all the info.

    Twin bed or Standard King?

    in General Discussion

    So glad the forum is still discussing this topic. The decision on twin or standard has been a major one for us. So far we are leaning towards the standard for 4 reasons:

    1. Although we do not travel often with them, we want the ability to take our 2 boxers with us. The wider sleeping area may accommodate 2 big dogs.

    2. It has the additional benefit of having more floor space. You do have the  anchors for the table on the floor but maybe a rug will hide when not used.

    3. There is more seating area for family and friends when visiting.

    4. We need a larger table as a dedicated work area for 2 computers, books and folders. 

    5. Reaching the upper cabinets has pros and cons for either pick. The standard seats I believe are narrower so I can get closer to the cabinets. However the standard table is larger when in use so it will be harder to access the cabinets. We plan on putting non essential items in those cabinets.

    Saying all of the above, I do like the open look of the twin and not having to change the setup.  I will be grateful for either one. The Oliver is a beautiful travel trailer! Thanks for all the info.

    Welcome, and I  love the name, too. Truly perfect name. A song by Oliver, for an Oliver.

    Thinking the Hair logo wouldn't work. How about this? Free download,  and you could customize with a modern font.

    Thank you SeaDawg. I do like the star and Maniac's idea of it leading the way. This will give me a starting point.

    The dog silhouette is of a Border Terrier.  And the back story is that my wife was not in favor of any kind of RV and we have two Border's.  All of which put me in "the dog house".  I also struggled with the logo artwork.  I have seen lots of BT silhouettes through my association with the breed, but never one I liked well enough.  I found this artwork on the Etsy website and the artist was in England.  I do not support the idea of borrowing others art, music, video or ideas without compensation, so I sent him an email explaining what I wanted and ask if he would make it for me.  Being the patient guy that I am , I waited for a month and then sent another email.  Still no response after the second month.  So I tried a different approach and bought a small 8"x10" poster and added a note asking him to make one for me or give me his permission to reproduce his art for my caravan.  He then responded and apologized for not responding to my emails and gave his permission to do what I wanted as he was too busy for custom work. So my suggestion is to keep searching and I’m sure you will find the Starshine to fulfill your desires.  After all, the world is full of very talented people and being a perfectionist only applies to things you do and the things I do, are my problem.

    In the past I have had a  Wire Hair Terrier as well as two Lake Land Terriers. I have always wanted a Border Terrier. I've heard they are extremely bright like most terriers and less hyper. Plus their coat is easier to groom. I do miss my little fox hunters but am happy to have adopted Boxers. Thank you for your information and a trip down memory lane.

    March Delivery – “Starshine” Elite II

    So happy to join the Oliver family. We chose Oliver for its clean contemporary look, solid structure and great reviews. My husband, Vincent, and I for months have been searching for a perfect “get away” camper. Originally, we were looking at class B vans and Airstreams. We visited sites and viewed videos on You Tube. It was a positive Oliver comment on an Airstream forum that caught our attention. After reading many posts on this forum, watching Oliver You Tubes and visiting a beautiful Elite II, we finalized the deal this month.

    Our build date is in December followed by a delivery date in March when the weather may be more cooperative for a ride home to New Jersey. The floor plan on our Elite II will be standard to help accommodate our two boxers, Sarge and Chase, who on occasions may be accompanying us.

    Looking forward to meeting other adventurous campers. Although our Oliver (Starshine) will be used now for cross country family visits and vacation trips, our intentions are to have it for longer adventures after retirement.
