9/5/19: CCLQ at DeeDee's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  On September 5th a dozen quilters plus our Jr. Quilter met at DeeDee's home.  The group signed up for the upcoming three months. Check the blog for the updated calendar. Enjoy seeing the beautiful work by this group of friends.  A couple of links are included for patterns and tutorials.  

Today is Jean's birthday!  Happy happy birthday Jean!

Deborah made a custom grocery fat sack for Jean.   Pattern was from Terri Atkinson. 

Jean completed her beautiful embroidered and hand painted botanical quilt. 

Joanna shared the pattern for half-square triangles from Lee Heinrich's  "Freshly Pieced."

Joanna found this wonderful fabric at Pineapple Fabrics and plans to make a Wedding Chuppah (canopy) for her  grand-daughter's wedding. 

Here's the concept for the Chuppah.  Joanna plans to paint the concentric circles on the turquoise fabric.
