The Summer Themed Mini Quilt Swap cont...

The person chosen to receive a mini from me was Noela and as I know it has arrived at her place, I am now going to reveal what I made. 
I used a Craftsy Pattern that I had noticed earlier this year, and put it in my wish list. When I started wondering how I would interpret the topic, I came up with quite a few ideas but nothing in particular. Then one day, just out of the blue, I remembered the stitchery pattern on Craftsy...it was a little vintage caravan. Now even though my parents always rented a house for beach holidays or we went to my godparents' farm in the country, I still associate caravans with summer and summer holidays. 

So I purchased Jodie Rackley's pattern and traced the design on to some off white homespun during FNwF last month. I purchased some lovely 'cloud' fabric for the border but as I worked the embroidery I realised that the cloud fabric 'would not work'...but some caravan fabric that I already had would work quite well instead...so...the finished mini, using the 'Retro Camper' design.
I used cloud fabric on the binding and a lighter cloud fabric as the backing. 

Thank you to Cheryll for organising this fun swap of 3 mini quilts this year.
