3/3/16 - CCLQ @ Joanna's

Nine of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters met at Joanna's today.  Joanna baked a "Dump Cake" for us and had a pot of coffee waiting when we arrived.  Double YUM!!!

Stay tuned.  We are trying something new, but first...

Show and Tell!!!  (Which may be SLIGHTLY different than those who were there recall.)  :o))

Candy couldn't remember if she showed her placemats last time. There are 48 HSTs in each:

What is Deborah doing over there?  You will have to wait and see:

Hello, Quilters:

Wait a minute!!  Where did Deborah go???

There she is!  What IS she doing with her phone???

Dee Dee is working on THIS pattern...

... In batik scraps:

Aren't the blocks lovely?

She also made a Tumbler Quilt:

She's happy that the top is DONE:

Ruth S. bought THIS pattern...

... THIS birdhouse panel:

... And THIS bird panel at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival last weekend:

These fun prints:

These Cat prints:

And this collection of fabric:

She will be making this pattern, but I missed a photo of the bright fabrics that she plans to use for the flowers and leaves:

Ruth S. was working on the binding of THIS Baby Quilt:

Deborah finished all of the star points and has started quilting the background sections:

Ruth B. had nothing to show, but was happy to be with us:

Jean worked on a crochet pattern that she found last weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival:

Joy is knitting on a friend's UFO :

These are the beautiful Silk Dupioni that Jean bought at the Hampton Show:

Along with some acrylic templates for machine quilting:

... And a Tucker Trimmer:

It's a great time saver and you will NEVER believe what Jean found out...  Deb Tucker lives just north of Hillsborough and her new assistant lives right in Linda's apartment complex!!!

Jean found some fabric that coordinates PERFECTLY with her "Willie" fabric:

She CLAIMED that she bought this pattern for Candy:

Jean found needles just right for burying threads after quilting and brought some back for Joanna and Sara.  Joanna shared hers with the rest of us.  Thanks, Joanna!!!

Ella has been inspired by Deborah and is now hand quilting an 8 year old UFO:

Dee Dee was busy working in her sketch book:

 See?!  Ruth S. really WAS working on the binding:

Jean brought her block for our group Donation Quilt:

HERE is Joanna, preparing to work:

Jean is getting frustrated with her iPad because she couldn't find the pattern she wanted to show us:

Welcome back, Ella!!!  We enjoyed hearing about your trip to Israel:

LOOK!!!  Jean cleaned out her scrap bin.  Take a guess who they went home with?!

Candy is back to knitting:

Cheryl busied herself finishing the binding on a Baby Quilt:

We took a trip to see the quilt on Joanna's design wall...

... to help with the border on this beautiful quilt:

Joy appreciated the scrap infusion that Candy brought for her:

Remember at the beginning of the post that I said that we were trying something new today?  Well, Ella had an idea for a surprise for one of our followers.  Please click the arrow on the photo below:

 

Today we found out that it's Ella's sister, Jeri, loves our blog and enjoys seeing our projects each week. We also found out that today is Jeri's birthday. Happy birthday!!!

Thanks for making that video happen, Deborah!!  You can thank Ella that we kept the outtakes.  LOL

Dee Dee's lunch timer went off and 8 of us headed off to Bennett Pointe Grill.  THIS is for Lisa over in England and, believe me, it was YUMMY:

Until next time...
Think Spring!!!
