12/5/2024 CCLQ @ Cheryl's

 

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters Bee Meeting this week hosted by Cheryl with some of the best home made cookies.

Deedee started off by passing a table runner to Deborah that is ultimately for Gayle.  Then she showed all 7 shopping tote bags she made as gifts for this holiday season.  The fabrics were chosen specifically for each friend. 

Ella showed a cute baby/child donation quilt top made from her stash.

Lynda had a 2 bag full of show-n-tell, starting with some lovely fabrics then the finished child donation quilt made from her left over Kaffe fabrics.  She is going to keep using her stash of left over  scraps to make more child donations.  She is feeling very good about using them up but not as good as having the "Ladies" quilt all finished.  Britt did an outstanding job with the quilted feathers in the sashing.  Still deciding where the ladies will be residing within her home.

Maggie had a cute little topper/placemat made from gifted pkg of mini charms.  She is also working on left over scrap pieces to a donation top.  Just found the two fabrics that will be used for inner and outer borders.

Deborah has the Hearts quilted ready for binding.

Candy was busy making large draw string gift bags that will be used this holiday season.

Cheryl has the Birds quilting started but it slow going.  We're sure her mojo will be back in the coming week.

Ruth joined us today with Angela.  Ruth also needs to get her mojo back after doing a little sewing the day before where a pin jumped into the path of the needle.  Deedee is going over to see what's up with the machine after the pin incident.  Angela was very happy to see all the show-n-tell.  Maybe Ruth will have some luck in converting her to the Quilter's Way....ha ha not sure what the Quilter's Way is but it sure is fun.

That's all for now.  Keep sewing and watch out for those jumping pins!
