6/30/16 CCLQ @ DeeDee's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters at Dee Dee's home.  We were all inspired by Dee Dee's lovely garden...complete with an "outdoor sewing machine!" DeeDee has a new French press for coffee and used it to make coffee for the group!






Here's a preview of some of the heart blocks for the Orlando Pulse donation quilt.

Last week DeeDee showed her version of this "Lilies for Connie" quilt.

DeeDee loaned this Christmas tree in a truck pattern to Jean.  It's that time of year to start working on those quilted Christmas gifts...unless you're a "goddess of the last minute!"

Jean ordered this book with DeeDee in mind and she was oh so excited to see it!  Several folks in the group might want to borrow or order their own copy!  http://www.janedunnewold.com/ast/

 Cheryl showed this beautiful bird quilt top which is ready to be quilted.  Several quilting ideas were shared. Cheryl's tell is that she and Stephen are going to Italy in the fall.

Jean was working on a surprise birthday gift. Jean has been playing golf with Rick who is now feeling better.  Jean expressed some frustration with free motion quilting. The experienced free motion quilters in the group assured her that she just needs more practice to develop that muscle memory! 
Ruth B finally quilted a UFO, a stylized American flag.  She is putting on the binding in time to have it to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Ruth also finished her five heart blocks for the Orlando quilt project.

Ella and Barry took an excursion to some quilt shops and brought back bookmarks for all.  The bookmarks tell of an upcoming Triangle/Triad shop hop in the fall.  Could this be another road trip?

Joanna collected several colors of heart blocks today and also was deconstructing some trim so it could be sewn into the seam of a garment.       

Linda shared that she will be moving into her new home soon!   Deborah shared that today is her 32nd wedding anniversary.  Next week Eddie is going to jazz camp, so Deborah plans to do some quilting/sewing and visiting her grandson.  Deborah brought fabric to cut out the heart blocks, but did not get a picture of that!  A big thank you to Ruth for taking notes today!

The group went to lunch at Hillsborough BBQ.  http://hillsboroughbbq.com/.  Britt joined the group for lunch. 

Till next week,  "Don't worry, be scrappy!"
