    Default Campground quilt

    Hi, here's my story we have been camping at this campground for about 10 yrs. I have also camp here when I was younger. There are about 12 quilters in the campground. We got together this winter and was talking about the campground 50yrs anniversary that was this year. We all wanted to make a quilt for the owners 50 years, the campground was hand down from father to son. So 11 quilters started to make blocks and gave them to me to put together and quilt. We also wanted to get the other camper involved in the quilt so we took donation some of the money want for backing and batting the rest want to the owner with the quilt. So know I had to put it all together and had to also remember about all the other who donated. So I added a area for all who donated to sign the quilt. On 4th of July they had a big celebration for the 50th anniversary. We gave the quilt to them with there parents there, it was great. The quilt that we made them is how hang in the campground store. The first picture is all the quilter that made blocks and me, I am on the left on the floor, the second picture is the quilters and the owner, the third is the quilt hang in the store. In the white area around the center block is where we all signed. Thanks for reading my story labug

    Great quilt!
    If that's the campground near North Branch, it's just a mile or so from our cottage.
