Stripper's 2010 Mystery

I have created a mystery quilt project for the Red Hot Friday Night Strippers. This will be a 2 color lap quilt. The project will begin with the February meeting. There will be 7 steps. I will post updates near the 3rd Friday of each month, which is when we meet at Janet's Quiltng Bee in Ocean Springs, MS at 5:30 pm,. Everyone is welcome to participate. Please join us. Just bring a covered dish and your sewing supplies. The fabric requirements and cutting instructions are available now. Click here

This quilt top is from a $5 block quilt project designed by Marti Michell. Janet's Quilting Bee offered the project which began with a $5 block. If you finish the block by the first business day of the month and bring it to the quilt shop, the next one is free. Of course you must purchase the remaining fabrics to finish the quilt. I totally enjoyed making the blocks and putting them together. Now to find the time to quilt it!

This is a picture from the cruise I took to Alaska last summer. It was wonderful. I was traveling with a good friend. There was plenty of good food, good service and spectacular scenery. We even managed to find a few quilt shops on the trip.

The things I remember most were how many eagles there were, the brilliant colors of the glacier and how the mountains came right down to the water.

I hope to be able to visit Alaska again some day, maybe a trip by land next time.

I am starting this blog to share my quilting exploits. I hope you will enjoy following along with me.
