Donations Method Changed
To support Camp Korey is a simpler, easier thing to do. Go to the Donate page, located here. Click on the drop down menu to find Kevin's name and then decide how much you want to donate. It's that simple.

I'm Hijacking This Blog
My sewing machine and I have been estranged from each other for a while. I haven't been sewing much lately, but now that I have a purpose to sew, I can't get enough.
The first quilt I made is a Disappearing Nine Patch--but the arrangement is not the traditional reconstruction.
It was a lot of fun to make and is with the quilter right now.
The second quilt was the "Wish Quilt." Every camper gets a flag to put a wish on. I asked my Camp representative for a list of the wishes and wrote them on the plain blocks on the quilt.
They asked for quilts with lots of color, and this is the brightest fabric I had in my stash. It was a lot of fun to work with and put together.
The third quilt I call Midnight Blues. It may not be what the designer called it, but it works for me.
It is easily pieced with just strips and the moon was small strips cut with a Dresden Plate Wedge, and then pieced together.


I am working on my fifth quilt--a monochromatic, with four more quilts planned out, two with a camping theme, one with a baseball theme, a snowball/ninepatch quilt, and a blue and yellow quilt with a pinwheel theme.
I will be posting more pictures as I finish more quilts, and as Kevin begins to get ready for his trip, he will be posting as well.
