CCLQ @ Ruth S's

CCLQ was at Ruth S's house -thanks for hosting and making us delicious food! Since I wrote and LOST a complete blog post - this version will be short and sweet. But there are still lots of goodies to feast your eyes on as some of our members went to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival.

Ruth S. started us off with info about the Bluff retreat in Sept. She would like some advance meal planning from those who might join in the fun.

 Ruth had a plan to make a fish quilt...

Until she opened the pattern and saw this!  Um, NO THANKS!

 Panel and fabric purchases

Deedee made some purchases as well. She will report back about how well the pouncer works

Cheryl told us about being inspired to make a blackbird quilt

Candy is playing with this pattern and aiming to practice her quilting.

She also shared copies of a HST tutorial similar to the demo Gayle gave us.

Joanna showed this pretty quilt

Britt brought the unplanned purchases she made at the quilt show

Jean compared 100 weight Superior and Wonderfil - Superior is cheaper per inch.

She also shared her Marathon thread chart - a brand she likes.

And her beautiful projects!

Deborah showed the first panel of the baby quilt she's working on. So cute! She also shared a bag she was gifted.

 Gayle showed a quilt she's working on - prairie points are a first for her.

Ruth had an announcement...furniture will be delivered!!!  Just in time for her to host CCLQ. :)

The gang then tried out a new place for lunch and enjoyed yummy Italian food.
