| Camping Kids Quilt |
Hello and welcome back to the studio, maker friends! Just like my home, the call of the big wide world is loud and clear these days. Nothing quite like watching kids explore nature, collect pinecones and tell ghost stories around a crackling campfire.
I am going to get a little excited here, and introduce you to the Camping Kids Quilt pattern by House of Spoon.
It's a delightfully charming pattern that's the final project to capture the beauty of the wilderness right into your sewing machine. It is ideal for young explorers as it is both modern and whimsical in style. It's sure to be a family heirloom by stitching it as a colorful play mat for backyards safaris, as a throw for family trips in an RV, or as a cozy accent in your bedroom for sweet, starry-night dreams to come.
This pattern is an absolute joy to sew, because of its versatility and kid-friendliness! It's a great space to showcase all that nifty novelty print you've been collecting for the outdoors – like a little tent, a cute bear from the woods, marshmallows and roasting sticks, and a tall pine tree. The clean, easy layout makes this a great first weekend project for intermediate quilters, or a new challenge for the self-confident quilter who is ready to use and practice their piecing techniques.
Along the way, we'll be discussing what fabrics are the most durable for outdoor play in the real world, selecting a cozy batting that won't get lost in the washing machine, and choosing quilt motifs that will lend the whole look the camping theme—such as wind swirls or woodgrain textures.
