5/23/19: CCLQ at Deborah’s

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week nine quilters met at Deborah’s home.  Deborah's sister called during the meeting and let the group know that there's a new quilt shop in Pinehurst called Off Quilter. There was talk of a mini "shop hop" to Sanford and then Pinehurst to explore!

Here's Margaret's delightful Dash quilt.  She made it as a gift for her niece's baby. 

Cool fabric on the back

Deborah gave DeeDee some bird fabric with complimentary fabrics for her birthday last year.  They decided to challenge each other to use that fabric by a given time.  So here's the reveal!

DeeDee had the pattern for this awesome table topper and was able to creatively use all of the fabrics! 

Deborah wanted the birds to appear in a tree like scene, so purchased this pattern online called Palma. This pattern was shown using solids and looked sort of modern, but Deborah decided to use prints to see how it would be.  It was fun sewing curves.  Deborah used Jacquie Gering walking foot method for quilting. 

Ruth B's donation quilt has been quilted!

Jean made this cross body bag for the owner of Pineapple Fabrics as a thank you.  Pineapple has donated lots of fabric for DOQ's donation quilt program. 

Close up of the exceptional embroidery

Jean showed this lovely block.  The technique involves black line embroidery and then painting with textile paints.

Deborah pulled a quilting marathon and finished quilting the Hungry Animals quilt for her granddaughter!  She worked on the binding on today. 

Gayle was happy to model this lovely necklace made by a friend.

Gayle also received a lovely polymer clay bracelet.

Ella reported that she made fourteen quilt labels to sew onto quilts made by her grandmother and by her husband's mom. 

Candy recently went to Greensboro and found Calla Lily quilt shop!  She highly recommends this shop.  Did you know Calla Lily bought lots of shelves from Thimble Pleasures when they closed?

Joanna has 60x60 quilt to finish.  She wants to make it 60x72. 

Here's Joanna's wonderful quilt.  She plans to take the white border off and try possibly a green border.

Until next time, happy quilting!
