Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters’ bee. This week eight quilters and one junior quilter met at Lynda’s lovely home. Enjoy reading about our "show and tell" and read about our field trip to the new G's Quilt and Craft Retreat Center in Hillsborough!

Lynda gave a tour of her new home and of course we got to see some spectacular quilts. Lynda made this quilt from a Sue Spargo pattern. This one is called "Earth and Twig."

| Joy also received this surprise gift from Deborah for adding a comment to the Nimble Thimbles blog! |
