8/1/19: CCLQ at the Quilt Expo

This week members of the Cherry Creek Lane quilters traveled to Raleigh for the Original Sewing and Quilt EXPO.  A big thank you to Cheryl for ordering the tickets at the group price.  Thanks also to Ruth B and Cheryl for driving. Apologies for not getting photos of everyone who went on this trip.  Once the two groups arrived, everyone ventured out on their on.  Thanks to Barry and Ella for reserving a table so we could regroup for lunch. Requests were made to submit your favorite quilt photo from the quilt show. Thank you to those folks who submitted a photo. 

Sir Walter Raleigh's statue dons a "quilt like" advertisement for the Sewing and Quilt Expo in front of the Raleigh Convention Center.

Amazing artwork in the lobby of the convention center made of wooden tambourine bases and guitar necks. 

View from second floor....ladies and gents the red carpet awaits!

DeeDee sent this fabulous frog quilt as one of her favorites.

DeeDee also sent this wonderful landscape art quilt. 

Gayle sent this amazing antique quilt that was wonderfully quilted by a long arm quilter. 

Close up of how the long arm quilting made this quilt sparkle! We commented that it looked like quilting from Cheryl B.

Guess who we ran into?  Cheryl B was there and although she didn't quilt any of the antique quilts, she admired them too.  Gayle and Deborah(not pictured) were so happy to see Cheryl. 

This was Deborah's favorite antique quilt. 

Close up of the amazing custom quilting!

Deborah sent this photo of an art quilt to Margaret, who couldn't join us. If you're able to look closely, the yellow fabric  has computer code printed upon it. 

Ella, Barry, and Gayle were happy to attend the quilt expo!

Oh...yes!

Next week look for photos of some of the fabric and other things that quilters found at the Expo!

Happy quilting!
