7/10/25: CCLQ at Ruth B’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week quilters met at Ruth B’s home.  Ruth provided snacks and a feeding frenzy of fabric!  The group voted to do show and tell first and could hardly contain themselves from glancing toward the huge sewing table full of fabric! A big thank you to Ruth for sharing her wonderful collection of beautiful quilting fabrics with us. 




Maggie started off the show and tell with a couple of quilt books she found at McKays in Mebane. 

Maggie visited Bull Town Fabrics this week and found some beauties. 

This piece was in the sale room and everyone loved it. Can you find the cat? 

Zoom in to see the maker of the wild and colorful fabric. 

Maggie completed her project from the DOQ workshop and used some pink fabric from Bull Town fabric. 

Deborah quilted the baby quilt. 

Thanks to Maggie for the idea of diagonal quilting lines.

Carol completed this beautiful quilt for her daughter. They visited Cary Quilting Company and found the fabrics there.
