8/4/16 - CCLQ @ Candy's

Welcome to this week's meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  We are ALL mixed up this month, so we were at Candy's house this week and will be at Cheryl K's on 8/18.  NEXT WEEK's meeting was SUPPOSED to be at Joy's, but will now be at Joanna's instead!!  Joy will host the 8/25 meeting.  Please mark your calendars accordingly.

Only a handful of quilters were in attendance today.  The six of us made up for the lack of additional show-ers and tell-ers!  :o))

Let's start off with a little preview:

 Candy is offering these bags for sale in her NEW Etsy shop:

Before we got the meeting started, she wanted opinions on THIS:

Jean is using these photo transfers for a(nother) Pet Bag.  The "price" is a set donation to SECU Family House:

She finished the quilt for her niece:

It is graced with "Modern" quilting, ala Jacquie Gering:

Jean did add extra lines of quilting and just LOOK at that center:

She finished it off with a faux-piped binding:

In between photos, Joy worked on binding her Calico Rick Rack:

Joanna did some drawing...

... And had a TELL:

The double vision that she has been struggling with for months is GONE.  Hooray!!!  What a relief, Joanna!!

Last week we were asked to bring our ideas for a special group project to benefit local law enforcement.

Here is Jean's idea:

Candy brought THIS photo of a shirt she saw:

Jean applied a label to the back of AZ's Quilt:

Ruth B. worked on her applique block:

Here is Candy contemplating Jean and Joanna's ideas:

Ella's mind has been occupied with things other than quilting:

Special thanks are in order, as Joanna brought the quilted Pulse Quilt Two, blocks made by various CCLQ members:

She used the same lovely Heart Meander quilting pattern:

Candy showed off here cheap-cheap fabric score at Tuesday Morning.  I don't thing ANYONE could have resisted these:

Candy also made a stack of "Bowl Holders" for a relative:

LOOK at the wonderful old handkerchiefs that she found:

THIS is a photo of the "Unstructured" Bag that Ruth B. helped her granddaughter make during a recent visit:

Jean's hands stayed busy throughout the meeting:

Here is another shot of Jamie's "Unstructured" Bag...

... She even did some decorative stitching:

Jean also worked on a beading project.  YIKES!!  She's been like the Energizer (Quilting) Bunny today:

Dee Dee texted our "lunch alarm" so that we wouldn't forget and talk all afternoon.  Thanks, Dee Dee!  Here's hoping that you are having a wonderful vacation in sunny South Carolina (and Cheryl, thanks for chiming in from Ohio!  Enjoy your visit.)  Four out of the six of us went to lunch at Mexican.

Post-lunch TELLs:

Joy has the rows of the Tennis Quilt in "twosies."  The end is in sight... Thank heavens!!

Joanna had a TELL, too, but I forgot what it was.  Sorry!!!

Until next time...
Wishing YOU peaceful piecing!!!
