Big Sky Iris Club has monthly meetings and our September meeting is when we play "Iris Bingo". Everyone brings prizes that are related to iris in some way. This year, I decided to make some hand printed potholders for prizes. I dug around in my scrap box to find some hand dyed fabrics on which to print the iris image with black ink. Then, I colored it in with fabric markers. I sewed some strips around the sides, in a "quilt as you go" style - everything was all layered when I started adding the strips - so the quilting was done as each strip was added. Then, I did free motion quilting around the iris image, trimmed and bound. I made 10 of these, and finished them up well in advance of the next meeting!

This made me smile. I knew a young woman east of Billings who grew irises to sell. She was in my writing group. Maybe she's in your group? Jan Myhre, Spokane, WA
