10/27/16 CCLQ at Candy's

Welcome to the weekly blogpost of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week eight quilters met at Candy's house and enjoyed delicious chili cheese squares with coffee and tea.

What a lovely table runner under those yummy treats! 

Ruth S is busy threading a needle to work on the stunning cottage quilt. Read more to find out solutions for what to do when you lose a sewing needle. :) 

Ruth B is working on her landscape quilt. Ruth needed some more embroidery floss. 

Candy glad shared her absolutely fabulous collection of  floss! This was one of three notebooks of floss. 

DeeDee worked on trimming some small  "quilt sandwiches" for her Jane Lafazio project. Can't wait to see this!

Joanna worked on a counted cross-stitch project. 

Here's Joanna's design. It's based on an ECU logo.

Candy worked on the binding for her niece's quilt. 

Ella sewed a sleeve on this wall quilt for her kitchen. 

Joanna shared this technique for working out a quilting design. Place a piece of clear transparency paper over a copy of your quilt design and use a Vis-a-Vis marker to try out different quilt designs.  The marker wipes off and you can use the transparency multiple times.

Deborah knitted a bit on a scarf.

Joanna finished the quilting on Ella's peacock quilt! 

Here's a close up...isn't this awesome?

Here's the quilting from the back view... although this photo doesn't capture it's beauty.

Ella finished this autumn themed quilt top using fusible appliqué. 

Here's a close up of Ella's quilt. Love those blue birds!!

Cheryl brought some fabric to work out her colors for the police support quilt project. 

We all wanted to see Ruth S's cottage quilt again!

Another close up of one of the cabins. 

This is Ruth's cabin at The Bluff.

This is the family cabin that some of us stayed in last year and we had our meals here too!

Ruth S also finished this beautiful bag!


Ah yes...needles were lost and FOUND at this meeting. Thank goodness!! Joanna had a great idea for us all to add to our sewing kit....magnetic tool with light.


The  group went to Mebane Downtown Table for a lovely and delicious lunch.

Until next time, 

One Stitch at a Time - Ruth Y. Nott 

Friendships are made one stitch at a time.
A feeling of comfort so hard to define,
Like a fine old quilt is soft and warm,
Friendships enfold and then conform.
Friendships surround, yet set us free
So each person can be what she must be.
Together they grow and soon both find
That friendships are made one stitch at a time!
