Strip club, Strip Club, Strip Club

 
Strip Club was Tuesday and we had a great time.
I wanted to share some of the photos I took with all of you out there in blog land.
 
 
 
 
Here is Jeremy showing us how we will be sewing our star on the quilt we are currently working on.

Going around the classroom handing out patterns

Some of the ladies taking the class.  Far rear is Marty, next is Darby, in front of Darby is Bonnie, Jeremy and Brenda.  Far right it Diane and with her back to the camera is Karen.

At this table we have Cheryl, Beth and Diane

Now remember we all work from the same general pattern but everyone has their own choice of fabrics and any changes they want to make to their quilt.

Here is show and tell.

This is Brenda with her Halloween Quilt.  Her borders are fun.  Dots dots and more dots. Totally Quilted. You really can't see the quilting from this photo. Sorry.

This is Rita's

Beth and her quilt.  Notice the borders.  Too Fun and I like her binding

Here is Joan's quilt.  She used batiks.  Her quilt is square.  Love it.  I love the brown in each block and the first border being the same color.

Bonnie's quilt.  Not sure what fabric line she used but it sure is pretty. Quilted and bound.

Diane's quilt.  She used a different lay out.

Cheryl's Quilt.  As you can see she used different fabrics and her quilt is either king or queen size.

Now you can see how big it really is.
Love her choice in colors.

This is Darby's quilt.  Another batik.  Love the binding.  I wish I had a close up so you could see the quilting.  So Pretty.

Sharon brought two of her other strip club quilts to show off.  This was Color Falls.  Love it.

Sharon's second quilt.  This one is a wedding gift.

This is a table runner made from left-overs from the quilt.  I have started quilting it but it is not finished.
I actually think I have enough leftovers to make another table runner.

This is the quilt top.  I love batiks so that is the way I went with this quilt.

For our Christmas Project this year we are doing this large lap quilt.  The Christmas fat quarters are just too cute. 

I tried to get a close up but I was in the back of the  room and did not zoom fast enough.
Too close the day I took a photo of Greg's cool socks.  I did not get Jeremy's tennis shoes. sorry.

We had a great day of sewing and visiting.  We took a hour off and went to Panera's for lunch.  I had a Turkey and cranberry pinini (not sure if that is spelled correctly) that was really good.  Might do that again.

Well, until next time.  Encourage each other in quilting.

Striip Club - Tuesday

 
 

Another Day Spent At Thimble Towne sewing at Strip Club. 
 
These ladies always amaze me.  We have such talented quilters that participate in Strip Club.

 
 
 
 
 
In the back in the pink top is Cheryl.  Front is Darby.  Wait until you see their quilts a bit later in this post.

Farthest back is Sheila, Brenda on the left and Diane on the right

Standing is Rita, Sitting is Karen T., Brenda on the left and Diane (back of her head).

Standing is Jeremy, Sitting on left is Darby and on the Right is Bonnie


Shoes.  Whoo Hoo Blue.

Bonnie Sitting, Joan on far right standing, Back table is Jeannie on left and Diane H. on Right.

Darby - busy cutting her blocks.

Sheila and Diane B. cutting their strips into blocks.

Show and Tell.  Diane H. her finished top. It is amazing what the backgroud colors and border colors do to change the total look of these quilts.

Brenda's completed quilt. Ask her about this quilt!  You will get a good laugh.


Joan's finished top.  She made hers square and I like how it looked. Now her background is black and below is Darbys which is brown. 

Darby's finished quilt.  Oh so pretty. See the difference in the black and brown.  The brown is softer but the colors still pop out.


Cheryl's finished quilt.  Take a close look at her border.  Just love it.  So whimsical.  The border changes the whole look of the quilt.  Such fun.

 

Jeremy showing us the fat quarters for the next quilt



Here is the quilt for next month.

The whole quilt.

Jeremy showing us where the block is.

Sheila working hard on sewing her blocks together

We all had a great day sewing our strips, cutting them up and sewing them back together. 
I can't wait to see the finished tops that people are making. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Encourage each other in quilting.
