7/22/21 - CCLQ LIVE @ Deborah's Secret Garden

Welcome to this week's meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  It was a teamwork day.  Thank you to Deborah and to Linda H. for serving as our hostesses with the mostestes!!  :o))

Deborah stepped in for Carol, who had volunteered to make her driveway available, but later discovered that she had an appointment.  Linda H. brought the snacks.  She was scheduled to host, but really didn't want to Zoom if the weather was nice. Let me just say the weather was perfect!!

Upcoming Events...

On Thursday, July 29th, we will be back at Carol's driveway with snacks provided by Lynda Mac.  (Weather permitting!!!)

Her daughter's MIL would like Candy to make this photo into a quilt:

Various group members suggested methods that the quilt might be accomplished.  Gayle volunteered to help Candy make a pattern.

I'll close with today's Group Photo...

You can tell how humid it was by the extra frizz in my hair.

Until next time...

Gather (safely!!)
