Fun and Frivolity at Quilt Camp 2012
Posted By drsao on February 21, 2012
Quilt Camp in North Carolina is a yearly event that we all look forward to – and for good reason. We get to sew with friends and we get almost five days of serious sewing machine time! We do way more than sew though – we eat great food, we share sewing tips, we enjoy Baron (or another Great Dane that Christy brings along), we ooh and aah at the dolphins – the ocean – the sunsets, and this year we marveled at the ANGRY SEA during our Sunday night storm. We also missed those who couldn’t be with us this year!
I like the sign in the kitchen window – and it is TRUE except for what the cameras and the bloggers happen to blab! 🙂 Because I took so many pictures (surprise surprise) I am going to share in two or three different posts. This is NUMBER 1.
What happens at the beach.....
We had lots of cameras clicking away for sure!
Serious sewing machine time
sao attempting to Free Motion Quilt on a Featherweight!
Becky constructed a design wall
Ann sewed in the UPPER BALCONY - what a view
Look how happy she is – she can see the ocean!
I think it looks like they are in heaven with all of the twinkling little star lights!
Viewing the quilts down under
It was great fun to stand at the top of the railing and admire the quilts on the floor below!
We shared laughs, sewing tips, and techie stuff too!
We shared TECHIE STUFF too!
Technology has definitely changed the after dinner socializing time! 🙂
Some of us had to resort to UNUSUAL MEANS to be able to read without adequate lighting!
I wish the camera could have captured that flashing head light!!
My roomie took a few side trips (she apparently has a need for LOTS of excitement) – first to buy a new tire since a curb jumped out in front of her and caused a little tire bubble. Then she took a little trip to the hospital to get rid of a killer headache! After all of this “RUNNING AROUND” she carried out her annual duty of making popcorn for us…..and not the popcorn that comes in a bag for the microwave! I can still smell that popcorn!!!
Karen - the life of the party
We got lessons on how to wind a bobbin
It is difficult to see the little NEST of thread that was created here! But, trust me, Jackie did some fancy work!
Barbara helped create BOBBIN ARTISTRY too!
Aren’t these yellow chickie aprons adorable? I don’t own an apron, but this year I am inspired and just might have to make one!
The BEACH CHICKS dressed in their fancy smocked aprons cooked up a fancy brunch - and some of us got the WEAR PINK MEMO!
Is this a happy camper or what!?
The dolphins put on great shows for us…….I will put ocean pictures in a separate post……and I took lots of pictures of dear sweet Baron, our Great Dane mascot…..so stay tuned!
Dolphins performed for us!
We left a shell to commemorate our camp experience!
Isn't this a wonderful gallery of shell memories!?
Besides enjoying all if the wonderful meals and show and tells (which will follow in a separate post) Christy also fed some critters…..the food bowls were emptied but we never did capture a picture of the recipients!
Where is that cute little red fox!? The food is appreciated!
Thanks Christy for letting us stay at TERN OF THE CENTURY…….it was truly perfect! Christy rents her beach house – so if you are interested in a wonderful place to stay on the beach check out the website!
