1/16/20: CCLQ at Candy's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week eight quilters met at the home of Candy H. Enjoy reading about what quilters have been making, plan to make, and what quilters are giving. 



Wonderful advice from this quilt magnet posted on Candy's refrigerator. 


One of Candy's friend's recommended this fun book, The Quilt Maker's Gift, for grandkids and for adults:) Click on the highlighted title to order a copy!  There's also a companion book with patterns for all the beautiful quilts illustrated in the book. 

Candy is crocheting a warm scarf. 


Candy shared that she had fun making fabric bags for holiday gifts.  She recently purchased this wonderful fabric selection from equilter.com


DeeDee made this cozy fleece scarf featuring a kitten design. 
Here's DeeDee's "Ella Quilt" which is finished!  DeeDee's working on the binding.  Joanna did the awesome quilting on this one.


DeeDee brought patterns to share!

Deborah found this book with directions for a tumbling block quilt.  The quilt will be a gift for her nephew's college graduation. 

Ruth S made this fun Quilt As You Go donation quilt with some fishing fabric given to her by Maggie.  
Here's the back of Ruth S's QAYG quilt.  Ruth found a bag of tan and brown fabric and some left over blocks and created a quilt backing which could be the front! She plans to add a border and will use some left over blocks for corner stones. 
Ruth B donated these left over blocks to Ruth S for her border blocks!
Joanna completed the quilting on Candy's modern quilt.

Joanna also finished Candy's purple pecking order quilt.



Take a look at Joanna's wonderful quilting!
Ruth B brought some lovely quilted potholders for gifts for everyone. 


Ella finished the binding on her cheerful peppermint candy quilt!

Lynda reported that she was inspired by some magazines given by DeeDee.  She got out some old silk paintings and some molas from the past and plans to start the new year with some new projects.

Candy's kitty enjoyed cuddling during the meeting. 

Until next time, happy quilting!
