Weekend.... will I survive?

That is the question! I will be heading to Camp Wildwood with most of my girl scout troop this weekend. (Friday night -Sunday morning) I will enjoy the shower when I get home around noon on Sunday after 2 days at camp with the girls. We are staying in the house on the property this time but I expect lots of walking around camp all day Saturday.  Highs around 90 and lows around 65 overnight. 

I have been working away at the green hexagons this month. I still have quite a few to stitch up and quilt and begin attaching into their groups of 4. I think I'll do browns next month and black and grey in December to round things out. 



I made a little progress yesterday on the Snowman sew along and have the four blocks framed and the next round started - red/green/red strips. I was attempting to organize and prep and pack for the weekend when I normally get to sew.

The OMG quilt has made progress and is in the hand stitching the binding stage. I had the boy check it for length... he is under it and said 'that should work!'. 

I started stitching it down last night and Peanut had to test it out for snuggle time. He had a good nap so I assume it passed muster!
 
The little bit I got done due to the cat's nap. 




I'll link up on Sunday to the following:
Assuming I survive the weekend with the girls (5 of them age 10-12 in my troop). It is a Figmentopia theme - with trips to 100 acre woods (for archery, fire building and knots), Yellow Brick Road (geocaching and exploring the trails), A party with the Mad hatter (crocket, building a scarecrow, etc) and science with the Magic School Bus and Ms. Frizzle - for bottle rocket fun. Dinner is at Hoggwarts Hall... I can't wait to get my chocolate wand =). 

In the interest of 'clearing out' some quilts.... I am bringing 4 with me for the girls (Em already has some so she does not count!) to choose from for an extra blanket this weekend and then it goes home with them. I chose these from old RSC projects....
Cubes - made with my 16 patches. (Lauren)


Spring Blossoms. (Hailey)


Scrappy Houses (Seems someone is not happy with my choice to have this one leave the house!) (Ireland)



Stashbuster 2020 quilt. (Sofia)

I'll need to pick one more for my girls who is not attending this weekend.
