6/15/17: CCLQ @ DeeDee's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!  This week eight excited quilters met at DeeDee's home. Lots of fun show and tell this week, so hold onto your thimbles and enjoy this week's blog. Remember to click on the highlighted text which will take you to a link about a product, a free pattern,  or book. This group has so much to share!

DeeDee's garden welcomed quilters with beautiful inspiration. 

Healthy eats gave our brains fuel for creativity.  

Jean shared  Fabric Printing at Home  as a preview for what she'll be teaching at Saturday's Fabric Frenzy. 

Jean shared this photo of the finished UNC quilt made by a woman at Family House. Jean taught this young lady about quilting and this is her first quilt!

Jean traveled to PA this past week and shopped at Burkholder's Fabric.  She found this lovely bird fabric at bargain prices and more.... 

Delightful color combination for the bird print

Here's a reluctant show of Cheryl's house quilt.

Cheryl sewed a sleeve on the bottom of the quilt today. 

Britt's making lovely appliqué blocks. 

Britt made this fabric tray using Bosal fusible.  She plans to use it as a handy tool to collect scraps.  Cool idea Britt!

Britt made these paper pieced butterflies for her niece's quilt. 

Here's the free pattern for those adorable butterflies from Lillyella.

Britt finished another block for her appliqué quilt.

Deborah completed the wool appliqué sewing kit for her daughter's birthday. This is the inside view.

Deborah has almost finished this "kitten up a tree" quilt for the Independent Animal Rescue Auction. 

Joanna shared that her granddaughter graduated from high school last weekend and plans to attend NCSU in the fall. Congratulations!

a few more details 

Linda showed this wonderful butterfly quilt made with fabric from the Shop Hop. 

Linda also shared this "Sticks and Stones" quilt.  It's a Missouri Star Quilt Pattern made with  jelly roll fabrics. 

Linda shared these blocks...maybe a Dutchman's Puzzle? 

Lost and found quilt! Look what Linda discovered in her stash when looking for fabric!

Ella shared some photos of the past including one of some rose wallpaper in her dining room.  More about the rose wallpaper later. 

Ruth S shared this wonderful bird quilt via text. Great to hear from you Ruth!

Ella and Barry planned to go to Sanford today for lunch and to Find X Designs, a fabric shop and Pfaff sewing machine dealer.  Four CCL quilters joined in for a fun road trip!  The group had lunch at Quick Bites also in Sanford. 

Until next time,  have fun quilting!
