Quilt Camp: Food, Fun, and Favors
Posted By drsao on March 15, 2010
Quilt Camp in North Carolina (Thursday through Monday) was NOT JUST FOR SEWING. We could have been filming the REAL QUILTERS OF COROLLA MEETS THE FOOD NETWORK. I took pictures of all of our food, table settings and favor offerings……unfortunately my camera (not the operator, of course) did not produce clear pictures of everything; BUT I did capture a FEW pictures.
YUM
This makes me hungry all over again!
Spring time place mats and straw hat pin cushions
This was an amazing breakfast!!!!
Spring Flowers - Pretty Cool!
- Looks like the Easter Bunny came!
We had so much JOY making and receiving meal favors. Some of the MOST TALENTED folks among us embroidered FLIP FLOP NAME TAGS AND VISORS………WOWEE…..and PERSONALIZED holders for our water bottles! We got beautiful credit card wallets, place mats, pin cushions, chocolate bunnies and jelly beans (thanks Dale and Jane), and spectacular button laden fat quarters. WHAT a lot of fun we had! THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!
AMAZING - thanks Jackie and Barbara!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the water bottle holders - thanks Alma and Sandy
Love the coasters from Jackie!
Quilt Maps and Button Laden FQ from the Queens of Creativity - Susan and Meagan
I am so sad that these pictures are so blurry – but I kept them anyway because they triggered good memories for me! We presented Meagan – back from Afghanistan – the FLIP FLOP QUILT that we made for her – and UNFORTUNATELY this quilt was one of the pictures that did not come out! Judy presented the quilt with a very impressive speech (and Judy also did an OUTSTANDING job of telling the jokes at dinner in Christy’s absence – we missed both Christy and Karen but their memories lived on in the many stories that we recalled!!!!!)

The Beach Observers - love the spring array of colorful clothing
Sorry, I could not resist this one!
WE (I say WE because it was not my idea – I was just summoned to push the camera trigger) photographed folks sunbathing on the beach – hey, it was our first sighting of the season! Actually I admire these folks for their positive attitudes and passion about saying goodbye to winter and hello to springtime. LIFE LESSON HERE – never let the weather steal your joy!
OK – and another bit of interesting news is that we all got tattoos. Well 13 of us got identical quilt-related tattoos and Susan already had a frog so she didn’t get another!
13 of us got this tattoo - Susan has a frog (photo not included!)
Are you wondering WHOSE idea this was? Well – without mentioning any names – her first name starts with a J and she is a very close family member of Karen. Her name is NOT JANE!
Augusta, preparing her husband for her new and ONLY tattoo
I won’t be mentioning any names – but I heard a rumor that SOME QUILT CAMPERS had a little visit from the fire department because of a bit of egg casserole dripping onto the oven floor – this resulted in an automatic call to the local fire department. When I saw the CALL PLUMBER switch in the bathroom, I was really worried that I might hit that instead of the light switch and cause another emergency alert – but alas, the switch (Augusta TOLD ME TO SWITCH IT ON) only lit up the bathroom with a beautiful red light! And with a HOPEFUL HEART, Augusta tried to summon MAID SERVICE – but alas, no one appeared when Augusta flipped the switch!
The CALL PLUMBER SWITCH lights up the bathroom!
Augusta is HOPING for maid service!
The MAID SERVICE BUTTON must have been disengaged!
Looks like you had a blast. You didn’t really get a tattoo, did you?
