5/19/22 CCLQ at Ruth B’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week we met at the home of Ruth B.  DeeDee made an important announcement about an upcoming “Shop Hop”.  DeeDee and Ruth B  presented four possible trips!  The group discussed the options.  DeeDee will send out an email with the details.  A date for the shop hop has not been decided.  It will likely be on a Thursday. 

Linda H. Finished quilting her Virginia quilt.  She used a fabric marker to mark the border, but it did not wash out. Many suggestions were given to get the ink out. Stay tuned to next week to find out what remedy worked.

Cheryl showed this lovely antique quilt  given to her by a friend.  The friend’s grandma made this hand appliquéd and hand quilted quilt.  What a treasure! Cheryl is also working on a Bonnie Hunter quilt.

Candy made this cute Lime Twist quilt from a kit provided by Sarah P. 

DeeDee found a book from a class that Sarah P taught in 2006 at Thimble Pleasures!

Close up of the receipt. 

Ruth B had this lovely donation quilt top on her design wall.

Gayle worked on the animal appliqué quilt blocks.  Gayle also reported that she’s almost  finished with the 1800 reproduction fabric quilt top. She stared a layer cake quilt and a wonky Dr. Seuss baby quilt. 

Carol completed this lovely donation  quilt from a charm pack. Carol also continues to work on the Friends of the Forest quilt.  It’s a Mary Hartman design. 

Ruth B is working on a hexagon baby quilt. 

Deborah was the substitute blogger today.  She didn’t bring a show and tell but reported that she’s working on a Waldorf Doll for her granddaughter’s birthday gift. 

Until next time…happy sewing!

5/14/2022 Sit and Sew at G's Quilt & Craft Retreat

 Getting back into the groove with a Sit-N-Sew day with the Nimble Thimbles.  We had a wonderful time getting together for the day.  So much so that we didn't get pictures of every ones work but there was some work going on.  Along with some much needed socializing.

Ruth got reacquainted with her travel sewing machine and now likes it since she completed the first block of a new small lap quilt.

Gayle got some rows together of her painted fabric pieces.  This will be a stunning table cloth that shows off her creativity two fold.

Dee Dee finished binding the donation charm stars.

Kirsten had some great show and tells.   An equestrian table runner and a baby gift with some spectacular rose motif quilting.

 

 

She also showed us the camo pecking order top that her son will love.

 

A big finish for Kirsten was to get the borders on her Florida State quilt.  The pattern is a Bonnie Hunter.  So great she has it together with just the corners needing a half square of color.

Candy and Maggie worked on two different donation kits that just happen to have the same space fabric as the center squares of the blocks.

 

Linda also had a big finish in getting the binding completed on her Virginia "V" quilt.

All in all we had a good time at G's Quilt & Craft Retreat workshop day.  Sorry some of the members were under the weather or had other plans and couldn't attend.

5/12/2002 CCLQ @ Senior Center

 Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.

We met in the classroom of the Passmore Senior Center, very convenient and roomy.

Carol finished a graduation runner for her daughter ... where do you suppose that is for? Then she shared a modern square quilt with red, orange, and yellow colors. And finishing it off with another charmer quilt but this time not on point but equally cute.

Ella has another 'Bonnie" style quilt top done.

Gayle continues to work on a commissioned Hunter Star quilt and first 2 rows of a Square in a Square or Diamond in Square or Economy Block quilt using traditional fabrics that she has grown to like.

Deborah has added the border to the Atmosphere Quilt and it is a beauty.

Candy has decided her neighbor needs this quilt and it's ready to go next door.

Dee Dee got some sewing done at the beach and showed them off as well as  the charm-n-stars donation quilt being bound.

Maggie showed the simply quilted baby beach quilt.

That's all for this week ... wow mid May already.  See you next week.

5/5/2022 CCLQ @ Hillsborough Library

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

We had a working meeting to sew on labels for our 12 Quilts being donated to the Ukraine.

After the labels were on each quilt we did a little show and tell.

Deborah has her Atmosphere quilt all pieced ready for borders from the fabric show in the 2nd picture.

Candy did a simplified "Bonnie" Quilt with some of Ella's donation fabric.  Might still have enough to put the leaf fabric on the back.

Maggie had a show of using the serpentine stitch for the binding.

For lunch 6 of us walked down the road to Radius pizza and enjoyed the great outdoors.

Until next week.
