Quilt camp is officially over, and I'm proclaiming the five days an official success.
Heather finished this large tote from a friend's collection of decades-old calicos
and beavered away at a messenger bag from wool suiting and other reclaimed textiles. It turns out this one is for me. That was a nice surprise!
I finished a couple of challenge projects, like these inset circles from a package of charms
and these bow ties.
I've also made good progress on quilting the t-shirt quilt, and I've made a set of placemats that just need binding.
Some of you were wondering if quilt camp was just me -- In total, I had eight friencds drop by, to sew and quilt various projects. It was fun to puzzle out sewing problems with friends, admire each other's work, and spend the whole day focused on fabrics and stitching. I'm definitely going to run quilt camp again....soon!

That's a great way of setting up a camp. One host and various participants. You won't even get tired of eachother. Sounds like so much fun! Lucky you receiving a beautiful handmade bag and I'd say you decerved a special treat after hosting camp.-)
Although it seemed like a lot of work to pack up machine and supplies, it was totally worth it. Got me out of my own enviroment so I was not distracted by my weeds and house mess. Good food, good company and I got the red velvet cape finished and solved a patchwork problem that had sat on my shelf in a bag for a couple of years. Thanks Brenda!!
Great camp--lots of creativity--fun, I'm sure.
That handbag is such a very beautiful. It made with colourful material and because of it looks very simple and stylish. The belt of bag is very beautiful.
your quilt camp sounds fun. wish I could have dropped by :-)
