Taking Out My Vintage Camper

Last weekend I went camping in my little vintage trailer and I was so happy to set it all up using some of the pretty things that I had made last year.  Here is what it looks like on the inside and I've put out one of the little table toppers in the seating area.

Here is what it looks like close up.  If you'd like to see it in the original post when I first made it, click here. 

Looking the other direction, you can also see the vintage throw that I made to bring with me.  I like using reds and teal colors when I make things for the camper. 

I used Bonnie & Camille's Vintage Holiday fabrics for this quilt.  Here's the original post with more info here.

Outside of the camper, I have red chairs to match and cute little teal colored tables that I picked up at Target.  One of my friends gave the pitcher and glasses to me for camping.  They look so fancy, but they're made from plastic so they don't break. 

My next goal, to camp at a site with electricity and bring some sewing.  :)

Vintage Adventure

In summer, I love to go out camping.  Actually, it's more like glamping, a glamorous form of camping!  I picked up a red vintage trailer (haven't taken it out just yet) and decided that I needed some "quilty" things to go with it.  :)

I want to decorate using vintage reds, teals, pinks, gray, etc.  I found this adorable fabric called Vintage Adventure by Riley Blake and it is so perfect for what I want to make!

I have a jelly roll and some charm squares of the fabric and I started out cutting the strips into 2 1/2" squares.  I sewed them together and make a table topper for the picnic table and one for the end table next to my bed.  I can't wait to use them next year in my trailer.

For the first mini quilt, I quilted it using straight stitches and love the grid pattern that it makes.  I'm pretty traditional when it comes to quilts and I love the linear look.

In the second one, I did some simple free motion quilting and it give it an entirely different look.  You can see the two quilting styles in the second photo.

One of my friends gave the vintage trailer birdhouse to me as a gift and I might even bring it with me camping to hang up in my campsite. :)

Oh, there are so many more things that I'd like to make with these pretty fabrics.  But for today, these 2 pieces will have to suffice.
