Nimble Thimbles: 10/29/20 - CCLQ @ ZoomBEE

Welcome to this week's edition of ZoomBEE!! The Cherry Creek Lane Quilters have been meeting virtually for the past 7 months. Thank you to Deborah for scheduling and recording the notes for our gatherings. Joy served as hostess this week, since Hurricane Zeta made it impossible for us to have our In-Person meeting at Ella's. :o((

UPCOMING EVENTS...

NEXT WEEK'S meeting (11/5) will be LIVE and IN-PERSON at Ella's house. Weather permitting, as we will be outside. The particulars are basically like last week's plan with ONE EXCEPTION!!! The meeting will begin at 1:00 PM!!!

Please bring the following items:

Your most comfortable face mask, a drink, your chair, and hand sanitizer. Remember to bring LOTS of show and tell. If you get cold easily, you may want to bring a quilt to wrap up in! :o))

TODAY'S GROUP PHOTO...

SHOW AND TELL...

Britt: Showed her lovely coiled cotton cord basket and a very nice Lutheran donation quilt which was quilted with free hand swirls. The backing was fabric Britt purchased in Geneva many years ago! Shared her sweet coiled coasters. Showed a photo of the tree commission quilt.

Urgent UPDATE from Britt!!! The rope coasters DO NOT protect your furniture!!! She found out the hard way. :o((
