Just want to share with you the "picnic quilt", I made from another one of Luv's swaps. I had no idea what I was going to do with the fabrics. This is what I did. It is "grandma's picnic quilt." I am also using it to teach my little man the names of foods. And you of course need vegetables and fruits, but also desserts. I will not be participating in this round of Luv's swap, but am looking forward to the next one. Glad you are back.

OK I just found this in the other post-



It is food.


Most are having difficulties finding just food so ANYTHING you deem 'picnic'... (picnic baskets, food, utensils, grass, ANYTHING picnic)

Happy Shopping..
