February 8 Strip for a Day

The Tacoma quilters arrived to experience 'STRIPPERS FOR A DAY'
Each has chosen a fabric and brought 27 -  2 1/2" WOF strips. 
We circled the table and picked up one each.
Pictures before we picked them up.

These are the fabrics we ended up with.
These are the gals with strips around our necks, over their arms or in their hands. We had a lot of laughs and were excited about creating something.
This is a quilt by Helen from a free pattern from  Fabric Gardens, Madison. It is done in 2 1/2" strips. Many of us thought it would be a great pattern for our strips.
Our raffle drawing for the month was this cute apron and holders modeled by Bea and made by Barb D.  SUE B was the happy winner plus a cherry pie, made by Carol T. 
 Barb D quilt for her great-granddaughter.


Barb D made this cute sweatshirt from FQ's from her Secret Sister and an infinity scarf.

 Ann finished her  'Pockets-to-go' project from a recent workshop.
 Kat works in a shop that had this tapestry-like fabric. She made this unique quilt. It is huge and heavy but delightful.
 Donna's quilt with her touch was wonderful.

 'America the Beautiful' by Donna. This is a 6-part quilt from McCalls. There are several others who are doing it in their own color palette. Four of us started to do it giving ourselves a year. After seeing it today others will be joining in. Quilting is contagious!!! Don't you just love it!!!
