8/8/19: CCLQ at Candy’s

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week eight quilters met at Candy’s home and welcomed our newest member, Carol.  Carol is a member of Nimble Thimbles and just retired so now she can attend the weekly CCLQ meetings! Enjoy seeing the wonderful quilts shared today and the quilt related purchases from last week's adventure to the Sewing and Quilt Expo. 
Candy found some fun Hologram threads at the Quilt Expo.
Candy also purchased a rayon batik infinity scarf kit at the Expo. 
Candy finished this beautiful unicorn quilt for her bereavement counselor.

Candy made this travel accessory for Carol to welcome her to the group. 
DeeDee finished this wonderful tulip quilt top.  It will be a donation quilt for the bunk bed project.

Emu sighting in Candy's kitchen!  Orange County has recently had an Emu on the loose for over a month.  As of this meeting, the Emu is till wandering around. This wall hanging was a gift from one of Candy's friends from Australia. 


Gayle was traveling today but sent us this photo of three grocery bags made from the Shabby Fabrics tutorial. 


Joy needed help holding this quilt for show and tell.  Joanna was happy to help!
Someone sent Joy this gray Anchor fabric as a gift. 
Joy made this adorable mug rug as a thank you gift to send back to her friend. 


Joy finished the top of this awesome T-shirt quilt.  This will be a  wedding gift for her niece.

Joanna did not bring a show today but reported that she has a new project on her design wall. She reported that she pieced blocks for two quilts while at the beach!


Margaret made this stunning Quilt As You Go Quilt with fabric from Pineapple Fabrics(PF). She used the Migrating Geese pattern from Deb Tucker for the left column of the quilt.

 PF donates bags of fabric scraps to quilt guilds for making donation quilts. Margaret plans to take this quilt and two other quilts to Pineapple Fabrics next week to show them her extraordinary work! Well done Margaret!

Carol made this whimsical Halloween quilt for her grandkids. 
Carol had enough blocks left over to make a Halloween table runner. 
Ella did not have a show today but reported that she's working on a quilt from fabric in her stash. 


Deborah purchased this cute mermaid block at the Expo. The artist who created this block is P. Carter Carpin of Richmond, VA. Here's a link to Carpin's website on Craftsy. 
Deborah also bought two of these blocks.  You are My Sunshine was her dad's favorite song and bluebirds were her mother's favorite bird. Deborah plans to make pillows for her sisters using this fun fabric.
Deborah also purchased a rayon batik chenille scarf kit at Expo.
A big thanks to Candy who loaned a rotary chenille cutter to Deborah for the chenille scarf project. 

In between taking photos and notes for the blog, Deborah took apart this wonky star block. Who knows, maybe these little stars will become mug rugs or Christmas ornaments.???




Until next time,  happy quilting!
