11/19/15 - CCLQ @ Jean's

Today, the members of Cherry Creek Lane Quilters met at Jean's house.  She had coffee and pumpkin scones waiting when we arrived.  If you weren't with us... YOU missed a real treat!!

Joy WOULD have shown this Crumb Block (if she had remembered to bring it!):

The fabric was compliments of Candy's scrap pile.  Thanks, Candy!!

Jean had her Autumn "kitchen quilt" hanging:

Her husband took this photo years ago and Jean made this art piece a while back:

Joanna has made not ONE...

But TWO of her Escher-inspires quilt blocks:

These will be turned into "stand alone" wall hangings, if memory serves me correctly.

Ruth B. did a bit of knitting:

Ella did a bit of cutting:

Gayle made some progress on the hexi prep:

Deborah brought out Grandmother's Star quilt this week:

Cheryl had a stack of fabrics:

Joanna worked on the binding of her Colorful Yarn Vest:

Candy shared Lilly's competed quilt:

Here is a close-up of the front...

And of the back:

Ella completed the quilting on her Binding Tool Quilt:

This is a close-up of the quilting:

Joy did a bit of knitting:

Ruth S. finished the top of Simon's Quilt:

What a FUN pattern:

Joanna made another wall hanging.  This one was paper-pieced:

Ruth S. did some stitching on one of her Bluff Blocks:

Dee Dee did some drawing:

Cheryl K. worked on some knitting:

Jean completed Ella special vest:

She even found a PERFECT button:

Jean also shared a needle-felted scarf that she made from a kit:

Dee Dee showed off her newest fabric dying experiment:

Jean showed how the prints were accomplished:

And Dee Dee showed a number of the prints that were created:

Then Jean took us up to her Wet Studio to demonstrate the process:

Here are some of the prints that she made:

You get a print from the bottom glass also:

Then she spritzed the remaining paint and made another print from each piece of glass:

An example of the technique using white paint:

Today's print on top and the "ghost print" on the bottom of a previously dyed fabric:

Jean took us into her Dry Studio to she her next Kitchen Quilt:

She asked for solutions to a design issue:

After suggestion from several of us, the meeting concluded and of us seven of us went to Pittsboro, anxious for a delicious lunch...  Only to find that Angelina had blown out her knee and Angelina's Kitchen was closed.

:o((

She recommended Small Cafe:

It's has good food and interesting folk art that Dee Dee will be sad that she missed:

Here is the artist's card:

There was even a QUILT hanging on the wall:

It's a fun little place, but we're hoping that Angelina heals up before our next visit:

Until next time...
Be flexible!!!
