Eye Candy Monday

We just returned home from High Country Bus Festival~~Camping with our Full Moon Bus Club friends. I didn't get an official bus count , but I heard there were 188+ VW buses there. It was wonderful. We lived on the river and in the water. This is a photo of my son swinging from a rope swing, which he has played on every year we've gone.(3 years at this location) My camera also played in the river this weekend. So I don't have many pictures of the camp out. I am a picture girl so the hubs was on the ball and has already ordered me a new one. :o)


As for the 'eye candy'...... I saw this adorable mini quilt on Flickr today. There is a group that make mini quilt blocks and swap them. This months theme was 60s retro. So stink'n cute.

Now off to do about 3 days worth of laundry and hopfully sew a bit. PEACE!!

eye candy

I've been eye balling this girls work for awhile now.... and look what I found today. She has stitched the sweetest bus with Alice characters. You know the very cute movie 'Little Miss Sunshine'? It's based on that. And if you own or have owned a bus...you'll get it. LOL

Here is her flickr pictures so you can see more cuteness. And here is her blog/website.

Mini QT Swap 3D

I was in the Mini QT Swap again and this time the theme was "3D". The last Mini QT Swap I was in the theme was "Take Flight". Look at my sweet VW Bus mini I received from my partner Bahamadawn. She pegged me pretty good. LOL She also has a love for VW buses so she had a lot of fun making my mini and a hard time giving it up. I will treasure it and it will hang on my kitchen wall with my other camping and VW quilts.

Here in the 3D mini quilt I sent to bahamadawn. It is a mermaid sleeping and dreaming of all her favorite things. This are really bahamadawn's favorite things. :o)

Some on the 3D things I added to the quilt are the button crab and the sequins on the mermaid's tail. Here is another good full picture of it in my flickr group.

I love these mini QT swaps. The quilts are so easy and quick to make. But I didn't sign up for the next one. :o( I am just too busy this next month so I had to skip it. The theme is circles this time, head over to flickr and check it out. I am hoping to sign up for the next round though, theme not know yet.

Favorite things

This weekend I got to do two of my favorite things. Camp and stitch. We went to T.R.O.M. this weekend. ( The Rides Of March) You can read about it here on my camping blog.

some shade for the bus

When we are camping and the weather is so nice we leave the bus door open. But the sun likes to shine right in and heat her up. So we need shade.

BEFORE
Baby but Powerful magnets....
I slip a magnet in....

sew her up..... I did this about very eight inches.

And there you go.... Shade. The magnets just pop right on.
