6/22/17: CCLQ @ Candy's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week seven quilters met at Candy's home.  Lots of fun conversation and show and tell this week. 


Britt and Joy got together on Tuesday and worked on their collage quilts from the Deborah Boschert class. Britt plans to add more embroidery to her stunning tree collage design. Can't wait to see the piece that Joy created. 
Who knew mug rugs could also be used as pin cushions or needle savers? 
Candy had wonderful tales of her three week vacation to New England, New York and Canada. 

Candy shared this photo from the Dale Chihuly exhibit at the  New York Botanical Garden
On the way home from her trip, Candy found these lovely fabrics at Burkholder's Fabric in Pennsylvania. 

Britt won a DOQ (Durham Orange Quilters) Oscar at the DOQ meeting on Monday night for her role in herding cats during the NC Quilt Symposium quilt show installation. CCLQ member Joanna had the wonderful idea and made the Oscars for awards for outstanding people who helped make the NC Quilt Symposium a big success! Great idea Joanna!

Britt was also given this beautiful handmade wooden magnetic pin holder for being co-chair for the NCQS quilt show installation committee. 

And the winner is....Britt!  She won this quilt kit during the NCQS volunteer drawing at the DOQ meeting on Monday night!

Deborah won this quilt kit during the NCQS volunteer drawing at  the DOQ meeting on Monday night.

DeeDee shared this hand dyed apron from the Fabric Frenzy last Saturday. 


DeeDee has already started a project with her creations from the Fabric Frenzy. 

Remember last week, DeeDee delivered a QOV quilt to a Veteran? A photo of her delivery of the Quilt of Valor and an article about the Vietnam Vet was in the Burlington Times News. Please click on the link to read this interesting article. 


Another winner!  DeeDee won this quilt kit at the drawing for NCQS volunteers.  Dee offered to give the kit away but both Ella and Linda wanted it.   Hmmmm.....

Ella and Linda squared off in a game of Rock Paper Scissors for the quilt kit. 

Tie

Ella won!  
Ella reached in for some wonderful items to share from last week's road trip to Find  X  Designs. 
Here's Barry's Father's Day gift...cool pattern and fabrics. 


Ella found this pattern. 

Ella plans to use this pattern to make some placemats. 

Ella's grandson loves chickens, so he will get the placemat with the chicken. 

Complimentary fabrics for the placemat project using "Heartland" by Jennifer Brinley Studioe Fabrics


Joanna is working on this design for a quilt for the Jujitsu Studio and the Emergency Chaplain.  It's a combination of the Brazilian and American flags. 

Linda found two fabrics that worked just right for the back of her Sticks and Stones quilt. 


The quilters had lunch at Asian Harbor in Mebane, NC.

Until next time, "friends are like fabric....you can never have enough!"
