Camp Blankets

Camp blankets serve several purposes, the main one being to keep you warm around the campfire.  Lots of people 'wear' their camp blankets, although I simply wrap myself in mine!  Another equally important purpose is to sew badges onto.  If you've been a Rainbow, a Brownie and a Guide, your camp blanket becomes a record of all the things you've done and places you've visited.  Camp blankets tell a story about who you are and the experiences you've had - just ask Willow about her blanket if you want some good stories!  Here we are at Guides sewing on some of our newly earned badges...


And if you weren't a Rainbow or a Brownie, it doesn't matter!  It's never to late to start a camp blanket, so get sewing!

Spring has sprung!

Spring has sprung and we're feeling particularly 'hoppy' making our Easter Bunny Treat Bags.  After sewing faces, ears and the sides, we filled the bags with chocolate eggs and tied ribbon around the top.

Concentrating very hard on sewing
