Congrats! to Carol's son who got married yesterday!! (11/26/16) Carol and the bride's mother planned the wedding in TWO WEEKS (since everyone would be home for Thanksgiving, anyway!!)
Dee Dee has chosen a quilting pattern for her completed quilt top (from Hampton Bus Trip 2010!)
Dee Dee is also cleaning out her studio. (Including the THREE bags of scraps that she brought to the meeting for Joy. Thanks, Dee Dee!!!) She determined that she has 17 UFOs minus donations equals 12 (which isn't bad, IMO.)
Helena was sad to report that her dog has gone missing. (Come back, Tilly!!!)
Linda purchased a new sofa and chair. She also heard that there is another quilt shop in Wake Forest, but didn't have details.
Event updates.
Britt posed a replacement for our annual Mary Jo's Trip. She suggested a Shop Hop and someone else (Linda) suggested a Retreat. Either could be instead of OR in addition to our regular meeting for the month March or April. Think about it!!
Editor's apology.
Sorry for not checking the notes BEFORE posting the notes. I hope you all can forgive my oversight.
Until next time...

Welcome to the November meeting of the Nimble Thimbles Quilt Bee!! We were at Joy's house this month. The coffee and hot water were ready when the quilters arrived. (No treats because this is a lunch meeting.)
Much chatting...
... Was followed by Show and Tell...
Britt started us off with THIS beauty:
Next came Ruth S. with this interesting piece of work...
... Along with her Bluff Quilt:
She also finished a Quilted Purse over the summer:
Candy made some pillowcases:
Excuse me while I take a closer look at Ruth S's quilt:
Oh. wait! Candy is showing Lilly's Learning Quilt and trying to determine what comes next:
Trouble threading your sewing machine? Try this handy gadget:
This may be Linda's book:

Candy did some knitting:
Linda shows off the fabrics for her Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt:

Helena brought a selection of fabrics purchased at the Diane Sale...
... A couple of books and a pattern also followed her home. The fabrics? They are meant to go with THIS piece of fabric from her stash to make a quilt for HER:
Joy was hungry and the chili was ready, so the quilters cleaned up their quilty stuff and went in for lunch. Special thanks to Carol for saying it would be "fine no matter what" and to Candy for spicing up the chili.
NOTE: DO NOT choose the Italian Tomatoes when making chili!! Oops!! Slight error. Joy never claimed to be a chef.
Until next time...
Keep Quilting!!!

11/17/16 - CCLQ @ Cheryl K's
Welcome to this week's meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!! Cheryl K. hosted 9 members and 1 guest. Fresh, hot coffee and delicious Almond Cookies were waiting for us all.
A fair amount of chatter was followed by Show and Tell...
Cheryl got her Bird Quilt hung on her kitchen wall:
Ella pieced her Law Enforcement wall hanging:
Joanna quilt this for Ella:
A closer look...
... And a look at the quilting, from the BACK:
Joanna also quilted this Autumn Wall Hanging for Ella:
Joy got to work on her next T-Quilt:
Jean's beading, again:
Ruth B. worked on the next step of her Twirly in Reverse:
Candy concentrated on a knitting project:
Deborah's knitted scarf got a little bit longer:
Ella worked on a new Peppermint Quilt:
Dee Dee did some drawing:
Cheryl completed a Table Runner:
Dee Dee has been cleaning out her fabric closet:
Jean's got a surprise...
... For Candy!! Happy Birthday:
Our guest, Cathy (Kathy?), worked on a scrappy mini quilt:
Candy's excited about her Birthday Bracelet...
... But SOMEONE had a misfire with the camera!! You can just barely get an idea of what her bracelet looks like. Sorry, Jean! It really is a lovely design:
Ruth B. has her first row of Twirly in Reverse ready for stitching:
Here is a better look at our guest's Holiday Mini Quilt:
She's also working on a Table Runner...
... And recently finished this Anniversary Quilt that was a collaboration with her daughter. SEW cute!! A real treasure, too:
Dee Dee got ousted from her other seat, but continued to sketch:
Joanna got some new patterns:
Look what Deborah finished!! Her 9-Patch UFO is a quilt top:
EVERYONE (except Jean) went for lunch at Rasa. A few of us tried something different this time (and were moderately disappointed.) We wondered if someone else was cooking today. Although, the soup was delicious, as always!
Until next time...
Take time for your passion!!!
