How to Have a Picnic on Your Summer Quilt
Warm weather is just begging you to enjoy your meals outside, especially after you've made a lovely summer quilt like this Ravishing Rail Picnic Quilt. Here are our suggestions on how to have the best picnic ever:
First, you'll need a basket to carry all of your food ands supplies in to your outdoor destination. Grab a nice big one from the closet or grab a cheap one from practically any store, including grocery stores when you go to get your food supplies. Next, you'll need to bring your summer quilt, of course!
Fill your basket with napkins, utensils, cups, a speaker for music, as well as the scrumptious food you've prepared. Don't forget to pack some sunscreen and bug spray in case it's super sunny or gets buggy. An added bonus to bring is a shower curtain to put under your summer quilt to prevent it from getting wet or muddy if the ground is a little damp or dewey. After all, you worked hard to make the quilt, and you wouldn't want all that work to go to waste. You could even bring an umbrella to protect you and your food from the sun.
Enjoy your summer picnic and your lovely quilt!
