Camp Quiltathon Saturday Recap!

Saturday morning began with more quilt inspiration!  We began with "Show and Tell" … wow!











Camp Director Valerie shared with us a great "Warm Up" activity.
We all made Twisty Bags!  A project that was quick, fun, and useful!  The Twisty Bags really dressed up our tables and helped us keep all of our stray threads off the floor!  Instructions can be found here.
Mid afternoon we held a Sewing Olympic Team event!  Each table was given supplies to complete  five nine patch blocks.  Blue team won!
 Members made great progress on their projects!









 Our two youngest members joined us for some fun!  The three-year-old has already participated in our tradition of having Chee-toes while we quilt!  Too cute!
We recruit our members at a very young age!  So sweet!
Our potluck dinner focused on camp themed food!  Baked beans, potato salad, s'mores bars and more.  The main dish was Pigs in a Blanket Quilted Pigs!
Our pigs nearly didn't get quilted … the cooks got a crazy case of the giggles!  Too fun!
Competition in the Great Bobbin Race became fierce as the day went on!






Friendly competition and friends cheering on made for a fun and very productive day!  Lights were put out at 11:00 pm and we all left looking forward to another day filled with fun and encouragement!
