Christmas in July Camp


Today was Christmas in July Camp at Lucky 2B Quilting. Quilting with friends, both new and old, is always a fun day. And we had yummy Christmas cookies to munch on!

I decided to applique some dishtowels. I actually bought the towels and pattern a year ago at the Christmas in July Camp. While I was going through some quilting projects last week, I found them. I bought some new things this year – hope it doesn’t take me a year to start them!

Anyway, when I left camp, I had four towels done. They each looked like this:
Tonight, while packing up a few things for a retreat, I realized that I did not make the noses for the Santas! So I made them tonight. Now they look better.

 

They are rather cute!
 

Oh, did I mention a retreat? Yup, some friends and I are leaving Wednesday and will quilt until late Friday afternoon. It is definitely a quilting week! And if that’s not enough, I had an email when I got home today  saying that I had won a little quilting project on a friend’s blog! I’ll tell you more about that when I get the project and can show it to you. 

It is already a great week and it is only Monday!

    1. Sure Lesley. I can't believe I forgot to say - guess I was tired! Santa is from the same book at the Christmas Bucket a couple of posts ago - Hugs and Holly by Kelly Meuller. ~Jeanne
