Camp Quilts

As promised, I have some pictures of the bunk bed quilts I made for our lake camp. This one is from a pattern by Camille of Thimble Blossoms called Jelly Bean. Very easy.


I wanted to make something to go with but not match the string quilt I recently made and I think this fits the bill.

We were at the lake this past weekend to get boats in and do some chores. It's nice to be able to get away. We have a loon that hangs out in front of our camp. My grandsons have decided it's a girl and have named her Raina! She was there Sunday morning so hubby and I got to eat our breakfast while watching her.

Then on Sunday this was the sunrise. It was foggy and beautiful. About and hour later the fog was gone.

By the way, the bunk beds and quilts are for these two monkeys.

While I loved making the two quilts I found them easy and I want my next project to be a little more challenging. I have loved seeing the Swoon quilts everywhere so I think that may be my next project. Time to pull some fabric!

  1. Pretty quilts for your camp. They look like they would be perfect for snuggling under with the weather is cool and damp.

  2. The quilts are perfect for the bunk beds and the bright colors show up so nice against the wood! I'll bet those two boys love going to the camp, huh? My in laws had a 'camp' at a local river when my kids were little like that....we made some great memories there. I love the boat pic with the sun in the background....gorgeous!

  4. Perfect quilts for making precious memories with your two little monkeys! Can't you just hear them whispering at night, all snuggled under their quilts, giggling and planning their next grand adventure?! Gorgeous shots! I think I would want to stay there all the time.

  13. My goodness, both quilts look great on the bunks. I liked your Jelly Bean so much that I ordered the pattern today. Gonna use some batiks, never made a quilt with batiks yet. Thanks for the inspiration ;)

  14. Oh I do like the little poem you have above the comment box. I want to embroider that on a quilt label.

    Your bunk bed quilts are cozy and homey looking - just perfect for a home away from home.

    That's a wonderful sunrise picture - looks too pretty to be real, God in all His glory could only create something that beautiful.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
