12/4/14 - CCLQ Meeting at Candy's

Here are today's happenings:

We discussed the 30 YARDS of Amish Black fabric that Candy ordered from KeepSake Quilting!!!

Calm down.  It was a group order to save on shipping costs.

Anyway, she delivered the orders to those who were here and will continue to make deliveries when she sees people between now and the NT Meeting on the 13th (at Carol's Christmas House.)

Dee Dee brought up the fact that she will be coming up with the January - March schedule for the group's meetings.

Some mention was made about the fact that she and Joy started the group and maybe Joy needs to take over leadership.

Joy's response to that was (something along the lines of,) No thanks! I gave it up when I went inactive and don't plan to resume the role. I've got too many other things on my plate.

Keep up the good work, Dee Dee (or pass it on to someone else!)

The plant that Cheryl K. gave Candy THIS SPRING!! (I think it likes Candy's sun room.)

Joy was knitting away on her Tubularity cowl/wrap/hood.

Joanna was working on the cross stitch pattern that she designed.

Gayle made TWO more dolls!  This is Naomi. (More details to follow - 12/13/14 NT meeting.) Sorry, Gayle! I take (mediocre) photos, but I don't take any notes.

Gayle has been busy making ornaments.  This one is Joy's.  (Thanks, Gayle! I love it!)

Ruth S. has made a TON of progress on her wool applique block!!

Here's Gayles Naomi posing on Joanna's lap.  :o))

Candy showed us her 10 minute stars. They can be used for coasters, mug rugs, ornaments, or really adorable package decorations. The holidays will be here before we know it!

Here's Deborah casting on the final sleeve of an OLD knitting UFO that Candy found.  (And working on quilting her Grandmother's quilt.)

Dee Dee is telling the story of her friend's daughter's "tote bag."

Here's the tote bag, turned purse, turned Snap Bag. (LOVE those batiks!)

Here's Gayle with Noel. (Sorry, Ruth S. Holly was a good suggestion for a holiday doll, but the maker gets to choose the name.) Just ignore the hand in motion. Gayle was busy fussing with Noel's hair so that she'd be ready for her photo op.

Here's Deborah modeling her ornament from Gayle.

Ella's ornament matches her outfit and...

Dee Dee's ornament from Gayle matched her outfit, too!!

Candy decided to make an earring out of her ornament.  LOL!!

Here's Ruth S. with the ornament that Gayle made for her.

Joanna's ornament had the perfect neutral backdrop.

Ella was quilting on her Red and White quilt today.

For those of you who were absent today, we talked about you!  :P

Smirk.

We talked about where you were and when you might be back with us.  Maybe next week...

Maybe next month...

For those of you who were present at today's meeting, you may notice that some of the photos (OK, many of the photos) were out of order in this post.

Sorry about that!  I suppose that's the price we have to pay for an absent camera and a present "Smart" phone.

Hopefully, you can overlook the fact that the meeting didn't necessarily take place in the manner that it was depicted.  (Or perhaps you'll fire me and hire a more accomplished photographer!)

Until next time...
Happy Quilting!!!
