Lazy Summer Quilt Camp

You’re invited to Lazy Summer Quilt Camp!

I've teamed up with a few quilt designer friends to bring you a fun, easy photo challenge to build community this summer on Instagram and Facebook.

Leanne at @devotedquilter is our host, and your camp counselors are:

Eva at @gingerlyquiltco

Bobbie at @geekybobbin

Staci at @craftystaci

Lauren at @palm_creations

and me! @pennyspoolquilts

This photo challenge isn’t about making new quilts or sewing every day (who has time for that with all the summer craziness?). Instead, Lazy Summer Quilt Camp is all about celebrating the quilts you've already made, sharing the stories behind them, and meeting other quilters along the way.

Every day in July, we'll post a simple photo prompt on Instagram and Facebook. Dig through your camera roll, pull out an old favourite, or snap a quick photo of a quilt that's been living on a bed, on the couch, or stacked in the studio (we’ve got piles of quilts, too, so there’s no judgement from us).

No sewing deadlines. No pressure to keep up. No need to make anything new. 

Think of it like sitting around the campfire together, telling stories about our quilts. S’mores are optional, but recommended!

Join us whenever you can throughout July, use the challenge hashtag #lazysummerquiltcamp, and spend a few minutes visiting other campers' posts. You might find a new favourite quilter and make new quilty friends.

And if you'd like a daily email with the prompts so you don't forget about them, you can sign up over here. https://devotedquilter.myflodesk.com/lazysummerquiltcamp

  • Hi Katharine, it’s on Instagram and/or Facebook. I’ve added links to the blog post (first paragraph) to see the hashtags on either one.

  • This is a wonderful idea and about all I’m capable of this summer! I must have missed something, though, as I can’t figure out where to post my picture. Thank you again!

  • Although July is such a busy month I thought it would be fun to see all the quilts and connect with others! Thanks!
