Last week I did some slow stitching embroidering a camping theme design on a tea towel for our caravan. And this week I’m pleased to say that it has been completed. Camping in a wood, beside a lake, with a camp fire crackling to make the early morning coffee, and the sun rising over the hill – sounds idyllic, doesn't it?
Although the stitchery is finished, I plan to add a band of coloured fabric to finish it off. Shouldn't take too long, I expect. The transfer is from Stitchers Revolution Camping Adventures.
My other finish is a little babies jumper. The knitting was finished a while ago, and I’d only just got around to sewing it up. Many thanks to Dot who crocheted some button loops on the back shoulder seam for me, and thanks also to Eileen who gifted me the pink “eyelash” yarn some time ago. This will be another one for my great-nana box for future arrivals.

Jenny, your description of a little camping holiday in the woods does indeed sound idyllic. I would imagine you have camped in many places such as this when you board your campervan and holiday. The tea towel stitcher is sweet. How gorgeous is the little baby's jumper. The eyelash pink yarn is a fabulous addition.
I look forward to seeing the fabric you will add to that darling stitchery you showed and I love the sweater you made and completed this week ... YAHOO!

A perfect tea towel for your caravan! I wonder which one you will stitch next? The little sweater will be like a warm hug from great grandma someday. Very cute
What an adorable little sweater;)) love those eyelash rows...
Your campfire scene came out so well. That will be fun to use on your next trek...
hugs, julierose
I love both your stitchery and the knitted cardigan.
Both projects are so sweet. I like the tea towel especially. Thanks for showing us the pattern transfer pack. I think I may need to get it!
that little sweater is so cute! yes the camping scene is perfect - a campfire and a chair to sit in listening to nature is always so nice
Oh Jenny! Such sweet finishes! I adore that camping embroidery. It does look cozy and inviting... and we don't even camp! But now you have me itching to embroider again. It's been a long while. As for the little sweater/jumper, I sure hope you get that great-granddaughter you're wishing for, someday. It's too adorable for a wee one not to wear it!
Your camper design is so fun, Jenny! It looks like there are lots more to work on in that packet, too. Such a cute baby sweater as well!
Lovely embroidered caravan… perfect for you when your travelling in the van….
Cute baby jumper…
Your embroidery is very pretty. I love that little sweater with the eyelash yarn. How unique.
Great finishes Jenny. I miss camping. Lucy and I went camping in February 2020 with our guides and there has been nothing since.
Two cute finishes.
The baby jumper seems to be cozy, soft and warm, and I like the camp theme you stitched, it will be perfect with a band of coloured fabric.
Your stitching is beautiful, as is the adorable sweater! Great work!
Hi,
Love your little Camper piece...so cute. Have a great day.
Love the camping stitchery, and that cute sweater!!!
God bless.
I agree camping anywhere sounds absolutely fantastic. Your embroidered towel is so cute and love the little sweater, Jenny. I hope you have a great week and happy quilting.
The sweater is adorable, especially with the eyelash yarn. Food cooked on an open campfire is divine.
Lovely work on the tea towel. That is a fun idea.
And your little jumper is gorgeous.
I love your embroidered towel and the camping life is amazing. The little sweater is very cute! :-)
