Sophie Goes Camping....

These are the fabrics that I have been working with in my studio this past week....
Yes....Sophie went camping. Well you know not the real Sophie, but paper doll Sophie!

She didn't forget the bugspray.....mosquitos like her because she's so sweet.


She has her own sleeping bag & it's warm and cozy in the tent at night.




Hot dogs and s'mores are always among the planned activities.....



Along with hiking with her family to thier favorite fishing hole.



Sophie is always prepared when she is hiking....she always brings along her compass, canteen and a flashlight.


Every night of the camping trip ends with everyone gathered around the campfire under the stars....telling stories and singing until Sophie falls asleep and her Dad carries her to the tent & tucks her into her sleeping bag for a good nights sleep...........


This is the fourth block in my "Paper Dolls" quilt..........I'm having fun!

    I especially love the fabric for the Sophie's sleeping bag and clothes. You have such wonderful taste when it comes to picking fabric.
