6/21/18: CCLQ @ Gayle's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters. This week ten quilters met at Gayle's home. We had lots of show and tell, so things went fast.  Please excuse any spontaneous photos!

This week's show stopper was Gayle's fabulous "Fair and Square" quilt, another  Bonnie Hunter pattern.  Gayle says, "I'm done with Bonnie Hunter patterns!

We had a large group of quilters today...here's view one.

Here's view two!

Greetings and welcome to Lynda (Britt's mom) who recently moved to Hillsborough. Lynda is working on an lovely appliqué project using Kaffe Fasset flowers.  

Cheryl showed this intriguing quilt made by her friend Nancy and quilted by Joanna.

Gayle shared a pattern and some fussy cut fabrics for the center of the block.  

Gayle had lots of patterns, kits, and quilt related things to give away! 

Jean shared this adorable Father's Day card from Willie. 

The image of Willie was embroidered on fabric and then attached to the card. 

Cheryl made this memory quilt for a friend's daughter who just graduated. 

Blast from the past!!!!!Cheryl found a wonderful surprise while visiting her dad.  This is the quilt that she made for her mother in 1974. This was the second quilt Cheryl made.  She thought it had been sold in a yard sale.  

Ruth and Joanna went to Cary Quilting Company last week and Ruth found a lovely green for the  Blooming Nine Patch Quilt. 

Margaret hand pieced this delightful block.  She took a class in hand piecing at NC Quilt Symposium and plans to make three of these blocks for a table runner. 

Ella made a set of fun fabric bowls for her daughter. 

Ella tried something new!  Isn't it delightful?  

DeeDee provided instruction on how to make an art quilt and this was the art piece they used for the quilts. 

Here are the finished pieces.  Nice work Ella and DeeDee!  

DeeDee has been busy!  She's already added sashing and a border to the cat quilt and quilted it!

DeeDee demonstrated how to use the Quilt Pounce. 

The stencil is like silk screen and you rub the pounce tool across the stencil. 

The result is a chalk line that can be used as a guide for machine quilting or hand quilting if you so desire.

Deborah met her sister for lunch in Sanford and visited Find X Designs, the local yard and quilt shop.  She had to buy this fabric. 

Deborah also had the buy the ducky fabric to make a summer weight receiving blanket for you know who.  The fabric is double gauze cotton.  The floral fabric on the left is also double gauze. 

Deborah finished this cross body back using the lovely heart embroidery design from Jean. Thanks again Jean for sharing the pattern and making the beautiful embroidery squares. 

Linda H was able to join us just in time for lunch!!!!

The quilters dined at Anna Maria's Pizza in Carrboro.

Until next week, bee happy and make something!
