4/30 - CCLQ @ ZoomBEE - Week 7

Welcome to this week's meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  This is our seventh week of ZoomBEE due to the ongoing our statewide shelter-in-place order because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Thanks go out to Deborah, who served as administrator for today's virtual meeting.  Thank you to this week's hostess, Cheryl K., who managed the proceedings nicely with our group of 15 (!) today.  Again, a HUGE thank you goes out to Dee Dee for sponsoring our Zoom membership for the next 2 months!!!  We are enjoying our 3-hour meeting with no "intermission" or need to log off and back on in order to continue.  Thank you SEW much, Dee Dee!!!!


This week's group portrait, compliments of Jean:




As you scroll through this post, you will notice that a number of members stepped up to Joy's challenge for everyone to make Candy's D4P (Click on the words to go to the tutorial!!)  Thank you for giving Candy's lone block a higher purpose.
                             
Disclaimer:  Photos may not appear in the order that you recall. I have trouble taking notes and pictures at the same time.
My sincere apologies,
The Editor
