Plan for a late summer getaway-right in your shop-and set your sample-makers to work! Sew a Backyard Adventure by Susan Maw and Sally Bell is rife with project/display/event ideas. Picture a tent or two, animal tracks on the floor and walls along with backpacks hung in a row. Or, find a few giant stuffed bears and let the wildlife wear the backpacks and inhabit the tents! Host an event for kids and parents. Serve microwave s'mores and read camping or ghost stories by soft candle light. Sing songs. Be certain to choose a project the kids can make as well. Encourage moms and grandmoms to make the backpacks and hats in advance, then pass out a few goodies-like toy compasses, whistles, water bottles and maps to fill the packs. Maybe your campers could stay over night? Wel-how about what we used to call an 'almost-overnight' for when our children were too little, or we needed a good night's sleep! Go for it and have fun! American Quilt Retailer, July 2013 Sew an endless summer of fun for the kids in your life. Everything you need to outfit a child to go adventuring is here: backpacks, teepees, sleeping bags, sun hats, cargo vests and shorts, outdoor-themed bedroom sets with quilts, and much more. As a special bonus, there are nature-themed crafts and recipes for around-the-campfire treats for the whole family. Pullout patterns included.
