I posted about my latest quilt, Life’s an Adventure, last week. The name is new (as of yesterday) but after a trip to my LQS to get the backing fabric I got all me ducks in a row. Now I’m just waiting on a callback from a local quilter.
Kate Spain Sunnyside backing fabric
The owner of the LQS was the woman who helped this time and while we looked around the store for a good backing she was the one that ended up in Kate Spain territory! So yea I ended up choosing a Kate Spain Sunnyside print for my backing, it tied in colors well and we both agreed it would show off the quilting pretty well too.
I knew I wanted to put a cute applique I’ve been drawing lately on the backing so I carved out a spot for two of these cute little campers and my quilt label on some scrap white from the quilt top.
How sweet are those campers? Download the template on Craftsy!
I’ve published that camper applique on Craftsy where you can download the 4 page pattern with detailed printing instructions on how to enlarge and reduce the template to ANY custom size you want!

I’m excited to finish writing up the pattern for Life’s an Adventure tonight and publishing it on Craftsy. Keep a look out for it or sign up for the newsletter (on the right –>) and I’ll email you when it’s ready!
What are you finishing up today?

Your camper pattern is sew cute. I love the fabrics you used in your scrappy Irish chain variation. You do lovely design work.

Very pretty little campers, and your top is very nice! Greetings. Christine
This is darling. I have to have it. I have a friend who would love it and I love applique. I never applique enough. Glad I ran across your blog today. Take care.
That camper is way too cute!! Thanks for linking up!!
Ok, that might be the cutest backing/label section I’ve ever seen. I’m obsessed with those cute little campers. I’ve never appliquéd before, but this may be just the extra motivation I need to learn!
