6/20/19 - CCLQ in the Wild @ Pineapple Fabrics

Welcome to a new edition of CCLQ in the Wild!!  It's been quite some time since members have been spotted out in the wilds of the quilt world.  Reports came in from Pineapple Fabrics where quilters from all over tried to camouflage our members in the fabric stacks.

Here's how things went down...

Three cars of quilters made the trip to Archdale on Thursday, in lieu of our regular meeting.

Car One:  Barry, Ella, and Debby
Car Two:  Dee Dee, Margaret, Britt, and Joy
Car Three: Linda, Candy, Ruth B., and Gayle

As the CCLQ members (and guests) arrived, shopping ensued...

Ella and Dee Dee dig for treasure on the "Pound Tables":

Margaret looks happy to have found this stripey print:

Oh, goodness!  That's QUITE the armful, Britt:

Joy spotted a 6 FQ Bag made of only 2 fabrics:

Get a load of this backpack:

Here's a closer look at the bag made completely of selvedges:

We even got a glimpse of our honorary CCLQ member, Diane:

Margaret chats with another Fabric Hunter in line:

Oh!  What a line it was!  It wrapped around the corner:

Margaret shared a photo of her Look Kevin, I Can Do Scrappy quilt assembled last week at the lake:

She also put together another Donation Quilt:

Dee Dee looks really pleased with her purchases:

Someone bought 5 pounds of fabric.  That would be Joy:

She got exactly what she came for...  And only TWO pieces extra:

Waiting for the last of our shoppers:

Oh!  Here is one of the bags Ella recently made:

Barry was busy taking pictures:

Gayle gives a thumbs up!  Beemates scored a parking place:

Oh, LOOK!!  Bolts of Amish Black fabric:

Candy was feeling like a thief after the cashier told he to go choose another Jelly Roll, as they were on sale BOGO:

Donation fabric request and proof of use and proper credit given:

Sorting through Donation Bag Number One:

All shopped out, the quilters did lunch...

... At this yummy local Mexican Restaurant:

On the way home, Britt sorted through the second Donation Bag:

Thank you, Pineapple Fabrics, for supporting our local Donation Quilt efforts!!  We all enjoyed our field trip to shop your SALE.

Yes.  A good time was had by all.  Well, except for the drivers!!  We drove into a thunderstorm on the way home.  :o((

Until next time...
