3/16/17 CCLQ @ Candy's

Welcome to the day before St. Patrick's Day meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters. This week seven lucky quilters met at Candy's home. Candy served homemade blueberry bread! 


Remember the quilted sketchbook cover from last week? 

Well....DeeDee got her mojo back and has been busy decorating the pastedown and free end papers of the sketchbook with colorful stamping and an inscription.  Very cool!

Here's what DeeDee has done so far in the sketchbook! Inspiration for quilting and art abounds!

A delightful hummingbird sketch and seed pod are illustrated here.

DeeDee was also working on a repair on her yard work shirt. 

Here, DeeDee showed a strip of hour-glass blocks she sewed together as a beginning for a small quilt she's making for her night stand. 

Ruth S was sewing the binding on a donation quilt from the Tuesday group.  
Ella showed this awesome quilt made by Barry and quilted by Joanna.

Barry stitched the star in the middle of the quilt.

Close up of one of the stars...look at those points and look at the radiating quilting!  Well done Barry and Joanna! Everyone suggested this quilt should go in the NC Symposium show.

This is a lovely donation quilt made by Ella.  Joanna also quilted this one.

Joanna was busy sewing the binding on the modern quilt she showed last week.  This one will go in the NC Symposium Show. 

Ruth B was working hard on her landscape quilt using embroidery to embellish.  
Candy was sewing the binding on this Quilt of Valor donation quilt. 

Deborah shared this Wonderland fabric from Rifle Paper Company. Deborah purchased from Fat Quarters Shop.com .  This fabric will be made into a pillow for her grandson.

The group enjoyed a delicious lunch at Asian Harbor Restaurant in Mebane, NC.

Until next time....."Good friends are like quilts.  They age with you, an never lose their warmth."
