2/14/19: CCLQ at Margaret’s


Happy Valentines Day!  Eleven Cherry Creek Lane Quilters met at Margaret’s home.  Excitement was in the air as Ruth S shared a special chocolate candy with everyone and a group of quilters were eagerly awaiting their trip to Pineapple Fabrics after the meeting.

Gayle was busy sewing the binding on this awesome quilt which was a kit from Margaret.  It will hang in Gayle's new house!
Ruth S finished this lovely quilt top made from fabric from Ella's and pattern instructions courtesy of Joanna.

Ruth S had an important tell:  Savannah the Bernina is paid for!!!!  

Ruth S is ready for a field trip!  She researched upcoming quilt shows. Take a look and see if you're interested in any of these shows.  Ruth encouraged the group to add to this list. 

Ruth B and DeeDee made a trip to Cary for fun. Ruth was excited to share this black and white fabric she found at Cary Quilt Company. She plans to use this fabric to make a quilt for Steve.   

DeeDee showed a flower block and reported that she made some more fabric covered art books.   DeeDee is interested in making a Storm at Sea quilt and wants to use a paper pieced pattern for this. 

Candy finished gorgeous quilt top using the Swirly Girls pattern.  


Margaret made several mug rugs for the upcoming Umstead Trail Marathon. Her son is running in this race and the mug rugs will be door prizes.

Margaret is coordinating the "quilt as you go" donation quilt and was eager to sew a few blocks together.  The fabric was donated by Pineapple Fabrics. 

Margaret made this quilt top from a Hancock's of Paducah  kit. 

Margaret's beautiful Blooming Nine Patch is done!

Jean made a lovely bag out of her embroidered flamingo sample piece. Jean reported that she plans to make a Victorian Christmas Quilt.  

Cheryl completed this lovely BQ2 quilt top and back from Ella's fabric.  

Here's the back.  Nice work Cheryl. 

Joanna's terrific Trip Around the World quilt from Ella's fabric is almost complete.  She quilted it and is sewing the binding!  

Joanna gave the group a demo on how to make half square triangles using the Thangles paper.

Lynda reported that she is almost finished quilting the bubbles on her bubble quilt.  

Joanna had some wonderful Guatemalan fabric to give away and Lynda was the lucky recipient. 
Deborah continues to work on her Blooming Nine Patch. Soon she'll need a bigger design wall!

Deborah shared a photo of a Fat Sack that she made for a gift.

Can't wait until next week to see what the Pineapple Fabric shoppers found.

Until next time,  when it rains....sew something!
