Campground quilt
3 Attachment(s)
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

Are the owners in the middle row on the right (man in green shirt, woman in orange & yellow t1e dye shirt)? If so they have the biggest smiles. You all did a wonderful job. It is very lovely.
Edited: It looks like the owners may be in the middle in the back row? Anyway, I'll bet they were thrilled with this beautiful quilt. |
Beautiful quilt!!

Fantastic idea, resulting in a beautiful quilt. I too enjoy RVing. Its amazing how many campers/RVers are also craft people. Thanks for sharing your story.

No owners are in the back row in the middle. The two that you are talking about are quilters. Yes we have a man who loves to quilt.

WOW! What a beautiful gift that is sure to be treasured. The ladies did a beautiful job on the blocks and the colors are perfect for camping in the great outdoors. I love the setting and overall design. What a great way to share your love for a place and all the memories it's given you and others over the years. Thanks for sharing and maybe it will inspire others to do something similar.

This is such a beautiful quilt as is your sentiment. All of you quilters/campers are very thoughtful and skilled, and obviously the owners are very nice people as well or you would not have thought of doing this.
