Quilt Camp 2011 – Table Settings and Food
Posted By drsao on February 22, 2011
Some of my favorite times at Quilt Camp centered around meal times. It was our time of sharing and the meal time laughter was so nourishing for the soul!
The table settings and the special “treats” were lots of fun too – and I learned how to make a KEY LIME PIE! Thanks Karen! Among other things we had a barbecue dinner in a jar (so creative with little huggies wrapped around each jar and our names were embroidered on them)
…..and we all got the cutest little blue crabs and PAPER PIECED table pads!
We had yummy real desserts – (and a pretend SUNDAE made out of a dish cloth and little strippies of cloth!! :):)) Notice the darling little aprons for wine bottles and the festive cherry napkins with napkin rings (a Karen Dumont Pattern.) Some of us are already thinking about what creations will be revealed next year!
Some of my favorite menu items were delicious to-die-for dips and I even spotted a container of “dried plums” for those quilters with special needs!
I am making myself hungry right now just thinking about it all. How many more days until Quilt Camp 2012?
Wow, Shirley, you really captured the spirit of the retreat so well through your pictures. Thank you so much for sharing the happiness and fun. I would have felt so safe with Minnie on guard -I probably could not have left anyone home. Evidently, it is traditional to always “set a nice table.” Quite creative. The crabs made me smile. So many wonderful quilts – a lot of eye candy. Great job on your bindings – doesn’t that feel great!!!! Judy C
