Happy Halloween from the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters! On the last day of October eleven quilters met at Maggie’s home. A big thank you to Joy for covering the blog last week! Enjoy this blog which is full of treats!

| Quilters were greeted by a mysterious spirit covered in luxurious fabric! Guess who? |
 |
| Maggie served lots of delicious treats including yummy pumpkin bread, fruit, and a coffee cake. |
 |
| Candy recently returned from a Peace Corps reunion in San Antonio. One of her Peace Corps friends purchased this stunning batik fabric in Malaysia fifty years ago and knowing Candy was a quilter gave this lovely fabric as a gift. |

| Another of Candy's Peace Corps friends heard about the fabric gift and said that she also purchased fabric and never used it, so later mailed it to Candy. What a treat! |

Deborah shared a copy of Curated Quilts. The theme for this quarterly quilting journal was star quilts. Deborah wants to make the Hunter's Star quilt in this issue but first has a few of UFO's to work on.
Deborah promised to share links to the ribbon border used on her niece's baby quilt. Here's the link to a simple ribbon border. Here's another link if you want to learn a short cut method make a ribbon border or quilt. You may want to mute the sound on this youtube.
Until next time, "Our lives are like quilts – bits and pieces, joy and sorrow, stitched with love."
Wow!! Spooky start to the meeting, but a great bunch of quilts!!
