Transport Quilt
Need ideas for beach trip keepsakes for family.?
I am a novice sewer (I sew, I don't transport waste) and quilter.
I need some ideas for keepsakes to make for my family reunion coming up. The beach we are going to has several pirate attractions, and I have about 20 different pirate or nautical themed fabrics already.
This is who will be there:
7 adult couples (3 generations)
7 children ages approximately 6 to 14
1 19 or 20 year old female
(22 people, 7 adult couples, 8 different households)
I thought of:
Fabric photo frames for each family with a nice photo of them at the beach using the pirate fabrics, the kids would keep these.
Small bags in mesh with fabric accents for the kids to use to collect shells on the beach
a keepsake quilt for my grandparents, signed by everyone. However, this wouldn't use the pirate fabrics.
Any more ideas? Need to be relatively simple so I can complete in 1 week.
Thanks!
I too am a novice sewer. One of the girls I work with has been making carry-all bags. We're using them as shopping bags. You could make them like beach bags. I started making them and they're kind of fun and simple. The ones we make have an outside fabric and a lining. Each one piece of fabric, unless you need the print on the outside fabric turned to run a certain way. You can add to the design all you want from there. (pockets, quilting, etc.) If you want to e-mail me I can explain more indepth. I also love the quilt idea.

Military May Get Car Shipping Discount
The owner of one of the very best auto conveyance companies around, has proudly served four years in Iraq, so he knows full well how to offer superior customer service to all of his customers, as well as giving a special discount to military. He knows and appreciates their service and how hard it is sometimes to cover personal and daily living expenses.
When it comes to car shipping, the choice is entirely up to you -- an enclosed trailer to keep your older car safe throughout the journey or an open one, which can be a little cheaper. Whichever one you choose, a car shipping company with a superb reputation will be able to quote you an excellent price, and in no time at all. As you book your transport service, call them about five to ten days in advance. If this is not possible, then express service is available. Try and get hold of a company who uses a single point of contact person. This lessens the risk of something falling through the cracks.
An auto transportation company's charges are based on routes, so finding an excellent, and reliable car shipping company that will be able to tell you how much the service will be, may help you to budget your transport precisely. Costs do depend on what vehicle or vehicles are being shipped, what is the starting point, and what is the destination. These car carriers rigs usually cover about 350 miles a day, so you can gauge approximately how long the car will be in transit. Another point -- less than one hundred pounds of other than the car goods are allowed in vehicles being transported, so you simply cannot pack it full of household items. A few blankets and similar would be okay. Items left in a vehicle undergoing transport are not covered by any insurance, so don't leave your antique or valuable quilt inside the car. Someone has to be there when the vehicle is picked up, in order to sign the bill of lading, and also to perform an inspection and make note of any pre-existing external damage.
Choose a company that has reviews and comments on their blog or website, and so has a good track record of customer satisfaction. You can also take a look at TransportReviews.com and see what others are saying about professional car shipping companies. With some thoughts in mind and just a little digging around, you can line up a super pro company, experienced at car shipping, and able to offer their customers (military and civilian) a great price.
