10/19/17: CCLQ at Joanna's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Today five quilters met at Joanna's home. Joanna served some delicious gluten free brownies and fruit along with coffee and tea.  Several members were traveling, so our group was small today.  Lot's of fun and good planning for our Quilts for Vegas project. 

Joanna finished this stunning Josephine's Knot quilt and it's proudly displayed in her living room. 

Look what Joanna has draped over her long arm machine....ready to be quilted!

 Ella shared that she finished the binding on the twin quilts and they are in place and ready to keep her grandsons warm!  Stay tuned to find out about some interesting business cards that Ella and Joanna are creating. 

Britt got right to work on the second group of blocks for the Quilts for Vegas project.  A few more blocks will be made by Candy and Britt.  Deborah will pick them up on Monday and assemble the second quilt. 

Here's a sneak peak at the blocks for "Quilt 1" that were made during Sew Saturday. Britt will assemble these and add a border. 

Candy worked on her Dear Jane cross stitch project. 

Joanna made this lovely cardinal block using paper piecing.

The pattern for the cardinal was in this magazine. 

Deborah brought her iPad and showed a relatively new app called Quiltography. Click here to read about this app.  It allows you to create blocks, design quilts, and take photos and turn them into quilts. Deborah also shared photos of the Durham Orange Quilt Guild Challenge quilts from Monday night's meeting. 


The group had lunch at Bennett Point Grill in Durham. 

Until next week, winter is coming...make a quilt!
