Many thanks to you Barb for all your work in making this strip exchange work. The strips came today and they are wonderful. The selection of lights to darks and bright to muted color fabric is great. Jane, PA

Here is my collection

I'm in Vermont and anxiously awaiting my strips. I got Edyta Sitar's book for Mother's Day (the one with the houses on the cover). One of my emails today was from ConnectingThreads.com and Edyta Sitar's Friendship Strips & Scraps is on sale for 40% off (was $27.95 and now $16.77). Just thought you'd want to know.

I ordered Edyta's Friendship Strips and Scraps book from Laundry basket Quilts. I waited for a couple of weeks and the book did not arrive. Edyta's company very kindly sent another one. On May 6th the first book that was postmarked February 22nd arrived. Crazy huh? I contacted Edyta and she asked that I donate it rather than send it back. I am mailing this to Barb to be included in Deanna's package. This is such a beautiful book.... I hope that this adds some joy to Deanna and helps speed her recouperation.

Yeahhhh!!!! My strips arrived today....they are gorgeous....really sparkle, even in the ziplock bag! Since I did all three exchanges, it may take me a bit to get these "made up", but they will be lovely eye candy in my sewing room until I can get to them! Thanks, Barb, for coordinating this for us....great job and much appreciated! Nancy

My package arrived today. Thank you so much. I won't be peeking for awhile as I have a few things that have to be done first and I'm running out of time. In the meantime I will just enjoy pictures that others have posted.

[Annis C.]

Do each strip in the pic have 10 strips each or are they just one strip??? Beautiful colors. Mona80

WOOHOO - my strips arrived today I plan on fondling a few this evening and devoting more attention to them tomorrow. Thanks so much, Barb, for taking on this huge job for the rest of us. Looking forward to working with them.
Regards,
Sheila

ooooooooooooh ladies, what lovely lovely strips
i recognize a few here or there - and love them allllllllllll
and WANT everything (of course)
reallllllllllllly looking forward to getting my little lovelies in a week or three - yeahhhhhh

wren1010: thanks for passing that book on to deanna - even if she's not up to sewin for a little while - the book will be so good to look at and help with imagining what whe will do with them all.

yeah - can't wait - i've decided long ago that this is going to be a completely hand-pieced quilt - that way i can do it as i go & on the go - whenever and wherever i have a little time and free hands - have been exploring ways ever since i started cutting the strips to send

fab fab fab

Whoo-hoo!!! My strips arrived yesterday - that was quick!!! Thank you Barb for a great job!!

I am especially grateful to have these beauties, because the 200 strips I exchanged came from our wonderful LQS that was destroyed in an EF4 tornado on April 27th!! A whole wall of gorgeous batiks completely blown away!!! The whole town of Ringgold, Ga., population 3000, was extremely damaged and 8 lives were lost...just gone in a matter of minutes!!! Very, very sad!!! Thankfully, our friends at the quilt shop had gone home because of the impending storms and their lives and homes were spared.

This is what was left of the quilt shop that Judy's strips came from:
