4/7/16 - CCLQ @ Ruth B's

Welcome to another meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  This week's meeting was held at Ruth B's house.  There were 6 members in attendance and we were all lucky enough to meet Ruth's son (most of us for the first time) who was visiting.  He went off to some appointments and we proceeded with our regular meeting.

You know what THAT means, don't you?!?!?

Coffee, baked treats, and...

SHOW AND TELL!!!

Ella took Dee Dee's pattern, made it her own, AND quilted it herself:

Way to go, Ella!!  Jacquie Gering's techniques really worked for you:

Joanna appears to be having fun with a challenge set by Joy.  Bias binding. Need I say more?

Here's a better look at Ella's quilting:

After showing off her quilt, she set to work on her applique:

Ruth S. stitched on a Crazy Quilt block:

Deborah was busy cutting scraps for her Wonky Star blocks:

Ruth B. waited, coffee in hand, for her turn to share:

 Apparently, Joy's binding project finally sent Joanna around the bend or she was just wrapped up in her work... You decide!  Either way, she looks happy to have been able to help a friend:

Or two...  Since Ella had passed along a ruler for Joanna to figure out:

The engineer in her won't accept defeat...

... and she showed Ella the sizing issue and the correct side of the ruler for this piece:

Ruth B. did some work on her applique project...

... While Joanna did some cutting:

Joy showed the completed "S" block that turned out just as she hoped...

... And worked on trimming up MORE t-shirts from this overstuffed bag:

File photo to show the vastness of the project!

Look at how much progress Deborah made during the meeting:

 THIS is the Crazy Quilt that Ruth S. was working on:

And HERE is Ruth B's applique project:

Smile, Ruth!!

Since we were on the Durham side of town, 5 of us headed off to Bennett Pointe Grille.  YUM!!  So sorry that Ruth B. couldn't join us.  Here's hoping that you enjoyed lunch with your son.

Until next time...

Just keep quilting!!!
