10/12/17: CCLQ at Candy's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week 11 quilters met at Candy's home. If everyone was here today, we would have have 14!!  Joy and DeeDee started this group and it's wonderful to have so many wonderful quilting friends!  Candy prepared some yummy snacks and Linda brought gluten free blueberry muffins.  

Beautiful art quilt by Candy

Here's a first glance of fabric and quilt blocks for the donation quilts for the victims and emergency responders of the Las Vegas  tragedy. Linda donated the jelly roll fabric and Cheryl has already made three blocks.

Cheryl K made these blocks.

Joanna drafted a pattern for us to follow in making the donation quilts. One quilt will have pastel colors and one will have bright colors.  Bright fabrics should read as a single color, i.e,. tone on tone. The next Sew Saturday will be a workday for these quilts.  For members who can't attend Sew Saturday, just bring your blocks next Thursday. 

Candy finished quilting and binding baby Noah's quilt. 

Wonderful quilting design
