8/14/25 CCLQ @ Cheryl's

 Welcome all to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters blog.  A small group meet at Cheryl's and we solved problems, ate some quiche, did some show-n-tell and had some laughs.  What more could we ask for.

Lynda had to drop off some fabric but wasn't able to stay for the whole meeting.  But the quote of the day was: "Little bit of quilty joy goes a long way to boost your spirit".

Cheryl had some bad news her machine was not working.  She hit a pin and the alignment went wonky.  She was working on another Josephine's Knot when this happened.  We went to view the progress and quess what.  She powered on the machine to show us the problem and it electronically reset it self and the alignment went back correctly.  How wonderful is that.  

As we were talking about aprons Cheryl got out one she made with Stephen's old ties.  

Deedee had the big bag of show that started off with two pin cushions ready for some walnut shells.  If you recognize these blocks then you remember Ruth B's quilt made from reproduction fabrics a number of which she got from a group trip to MaryJo's.

Deedee has started making items to be sold at the Passmore Holiday Market.  She made 2 runners from some snowman border fabric ... they look totally different when wider strips are used.  The backing "shirting" red stripe is a perfect use.

Another Holiday table topper all done just waiting for Nov 22nd.

Group discusion about what to do with this panel.  We all thought it should stay together with just some borders added.  The snowflakes at top/bottom may be incorporated in the border ... or not.  

Deedee shared this Nonagon weaving she worked on with her Fiber Art Group.  A great way to use up fabric strips. 

This is the template design that started it off.

Nonagon weaving refers to the creation of woven projects on a loom that's shaped like a nonagon, a polygon with nine sides. 

Deborah also had something new to show-n-tell about.  She was inspired by the design found on the packaging of a bottle.  The pattern is Japanese called Asanoha.

A week back she showed us a paper pattern of what she wanted to do and since then she has a book by Jacquie Gering that walked her thru a more complex pattern and it sure was worth it.  

This is her practice piece before doing the technique on her quilt.

Other side 

Maggie showed a finished child donation quilt that was made from the Eliza Pattern that Deedee shared.  And it was fitting that the Flamingo backing fabric also came from her.

Maggie also showed a couple of fabric purchases from Sewingly Yours in Lewisville NC.

Gayle has a nother fellowship quilt done teal and pink being the recipients colors.  The quilt got some artistic transport in her gelli printing tote bag.

That's all for this week.

7/31/2025 CCLQ @ Candy's

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This Tursday Candy hosted 6 quilters who had more tell then show before the rain.

Deedee told us of her latest trip south and had her bag brimming with fabric gold.

First up were some background yardage she got in Lowel - at Sew Much Fun

Next were some thrift store finds that were such bargains had us all wishing we had traveled with her.

 

finally she showed us some antiuqe blocks that a friend has asked her to make a quilt.

Britt and Lynda were happy to be there and talked about current projects but we have to wait for photos.  Question to the group was if we wanted to continue to include photo's in the blog of members with no current show?  

Cheryl showed us a chrocheted coaster that was gift from a Neighbor's visting 9 year old Rusian boy.  And she is completely fininshed on her 2nd purple quilt with blocks from the Tula Pink's 100 Modern Quilt Blocks book

Candy isn't doing too much sewing now but is rather doing Showings for her home that is on the market.  She did share some of her Seagrove Pottery and is planning on doing another "double braid" runner next similar to the 2 block wall hanging above the TV.

Candy got a laugh when she found this tissue box that has the colorwheel on the sides.

Maggie has the binding done on this Irish Chain donation. And shared a few of the fabrics she got on a Day trip to Fancy Gap Va at the Pottery and Fabric Outlet.

That's All for this week!
