She’s Leaving Home (and coming back after camp).

May 19th 001

I sent my first born off to camp this morning. This is her first camp, she missed year 4 camp because we moved back to Perth - and they didn’t have a year 5 camp last year. After imparting wisdom - “Be Safe, Be Kind, Have LOTS of Fun”, DH went & dropped her off to the bus. The eyes were a wee bit misty. Now I have 3 days to bind and make pillowcases for this…

Kathy (KC Quilting) dropped it off at work yesterday, she has done a beautiful job. The quilting pattern is called Sticky Buns (the same pattern that Kylie has on her version). Here’s a close up of the swirls.

I am bag making today (Surprise, Surprise), I have a birthday bag to make and get in the post TODAY, and another bag for a swap I have organised with a fellow blogger. I’m off to the Quilt And Craft Fair on Saturday with Jenny – can’t wait :)

With Love

Hope Rachel has an amazing time at school camp! She looks very grown up next to her luggage.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the quilt top - the quilting adds another dimension to it. It will look fab with matching pillowcases.

What a magnificent quilt! I hope the camper comes home tired and happy - the two signs of a very good camp.

that is GORGEOUS Janelle, I'm so proud of you!

When you're around, hop on over and enter my giveaway and swap if you want!

Your daughter will love the quilt I know and she'll come home dirty and tired from camp.
