quilt for the camper


I made another quilt this week, this one is for the camper.....I backed it in snugly, warm flannel. All the fabrics for the quilt front except the solids were given to me last summer from my bff's mother-in-law Cynthia. (Hi Cynthia!) I call Cynthia my fake mother-in-law, I guess faux mother-in-law sounds prettier. My mother-in-law passed away 2 years ago, so I adopted Cynthia for myself as her "sewing" daughter-in-law because her 3 daughter-in-laws do not sew/craft. Last summer she gave me a TON of fabrics from her stash, a TON! She also gave me all the left over fabrics she had from making a few of the grandson's camping quilts....so I used those leftovers for a quilt for our camper, ta da!!





All of the print fabrics are from the same fabric line. I was coming up a bit short after I had already started cutting so I ran to JoAnn's and found some solids that coordinated, I think it turned out really well. I'm sure we will put it to good use this weekend, it is supposed to be a bit chilly and damp.....but of course, it is Memorial Day weekend, why would it NOT rain! :/

  1. this will sound funny but.....i really admire people who camp. I'm not a camper. I don't like bugs and dirt. I wish I did. I like smores....so that's a start. But I'm afraid that's as far as it goes.
