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.
