Friendship Quilts Blog Hop

 Remember when you were a kid at summer camp? You'd go hiking canoeing, sailing, have spaghetti eating contests (yes that is me back in 1986) and of course, you'd make friendship bracelets. I had tons of friendship bracelets, because I went to camp every year. Usually a camp smack in the middle of the Canadian Rockies where we learned mountaineering, hiking, orienteering, archery, wilderness survival, canoeing and how to be an all-around outdoors lover. As I got older though, maybe 15-ish, I started going to a sailing camp, where obviously, I learned how to sail. Both great experiences, and I have so many wonderful fun memories.

So when Diane asked if I'd like to be in the Friendship Quilts Blog Hop, I was all over it. I've been pouring over sites and pictures, looking at different friendship bracelets, camps, remembering the fun I had summers as a kid. Man, this blog hop is going to be awesome! Be sure to follow along, as you can see Diane has lined up some great bloggers and has fantastic prizes in store!

  1. My son went to camp this summer and he learned to make a simple version of a friendship bracelet. He made one for me when he came home and I've been wearing it ever since!
