11/3/16 - CCLQ @ Joy's

Welcome to this week's meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  We were at Joy's house... just ignore the dust.  Nine members enjoyed fresh coffee, along with chocolate chip muffins (fresh out of the oven.)

Once the chatting settled to a dull roar, we began Show and Tell...

Deborah arrived before very many others were here, so she made use of Joy's "design floor" to lay out some wonderful 9-Patch blocks.  A hand-me-down UFO:

Joy returned these kerchiefs to Jean, who will be making a quilt for Willie.  Joy is sure to get the somewhat shrunken scraps at some point in the future:

Joy brought out the fabrics that she purchased at New Beginning Quilt Shop in Hendersonville.  Who says you can't buy fabric at a yarn festival?!?!  These SALE fabrics are for finishing Think Spring, a portion pictured below:

Candy worked on a holiday stocking:

Cheryl K. started off by looking through some reading material:

Joanna brought along a cutting project:

Ruth B. made progress on her Landscape applique:

Deborah is knitting a scarf:

Cheryl got a little bit ahead of herself on a bag project:

She did some lovely walking foot quilting on this bag:

Jean continued making progress on her Scrappy Mtn. Majesty:

She also shared her 2016 DOQ Challenge Quilt:

Can you see the quilting??

She did some AMAZING feather work...

... And used up some gorgeous hand dyes (done in shades of denim) that she did a number of years ago:

Jean's newest project involves hand painted birds (which Cheryl was able to identify!) with stitched accents:

Look at the label that Candy made for...

... THIS lovely quilt that she just finished:

Dee Dee spent the morning ripping apart some canvas bags with the intent of repurposing the fabric:

Joanna has a new Patriotic project, using the ruler that Joy is holding up for the camera:

Somehow, Dee Dee convinced Ella to help with the bag deconstruction...

... While she shared her recent finish:

Joanna shared some "quilt tubes" for rolling quilts for travel or storage.  Candy was one of several takers:

Ella showed off the Halloween costume that she helped her grandson and SIL finish off:

Here's Ruth B. putting her new "quilt tube" to work:

Last, but not least, Candy brought along a bag of scraps for Joy:

Thanks, Candy!!!

Until next time...

Quilt happy!!!
