I finally got to visit a LQS in Lexington NC this Saturday. It is called Quilting Quest. They also have a web site. I would recommend this shop to everyone. Lynn the owner is such a nice lady and very helpful. I will most certainly be going back again. They are having UFO night next Friday evening. The fabric is very reasonably priced. Lynn is also having a sale next weekend so be sure to visit if you can get down that way. I also went to JoAnn fabric this afternoon to purchase something so I too can be a stripper.
These are the fabrics from Quilting Quest. The cutting grid is from Joann trip [ATTACH=CONFIG]117959[/ATTACH] This is what I am making from the fabric I got at Quilting Quest. It is going to be a fence rail [ATTACH=CONFIG]117960[/ATTACH] This is from my stripping. The yellow flower fabric in background is for another quilt that I need to finish. It is from Joann trip. The strips are longer than shown here. they are still folded up. [ATTACH=CONFIG]117961[/ATTACH] |
Beautiful fabrics! Great purchases!! I love your quilt. What is a stripper?
|
Great shopping. Rail fence looking good.
|
Hey--I just bought fabric from her on ebay last night! What a coincidence. Same store name--same owner's name...
Beautiful start to a great quilt! |
Beautiful quilt ... I love the colors.
|
Very nice colors.Love the multi colored one. very spring inspiring.Will have to visit when I am in your area.
|
A stripper is one who cuts strips of fabric to be used in quilt designs. Example: for the fence rail you need lots of strips sewn together first and then cut into squares. It also makes for a good joke to tell someone that you are a striper, just watch their eyes. Lynn used this one on me Saturday in her shop.
|
Nice choices!!
|
I've only seen rail fence in three strips like the way it makes 2 rails!

Beautiful fabrics!
I believe the stripper she is talking about is the ruler with the slots you can cut strips with. |
Wonderful colors. Can't wait to see completed quilt.

Would love to see a pic of your quilt when completed. Thank-you for sharing. :) |
I have that strip ruler and have not used it yet. Seeing your strips I think I will have to give it a try. Love your colors.
|
Love your color choices, so cheerful! Love brights though I have tons of civil war fabrics, I guess I like all spectrums.
|
I love your colour combo! One of my fav mixes are greens and purples :)
|
I wondered what those strips were turning into. Love it a lot.
|
Colors are great! Learned something new today, Striper.
|
Nice work. Love the colors.
|
The blue and yellow is a pretty color combination. I like that. In fact, I know I have yellow and blue in my stash.
|
Beautiful!
|
That will be very pretty.
|
Love the color choices!!!

The colors and patterns are beautiful. What a coincidence that someone else today wrote about Lynne's web and how good it is.
|
Just read the other articles today. You'll find the web address in one of them.

Oh gosh, I have been a stripper for years now but now they came up with a ortho-cutting mat for those of us who need help stipping now. ROFL. I love to strip. ANd that wonderful strip cutter is great. And I would never have chosen those colors in a million years and now........shhhhhhhhhhesh, looks like I have another color selection I just love. Thank you for sharing. Love those colors....I have to look her site up now. :):):)
|
Love the fabric. I live in Ohi too far for me. But sounds great.
|
Beautiful colors....your striped fabric is so straight. Great job.
