Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters. This week the quilters met at Cheryl’s home. We started the meeting with a tour of Cheryl’s new camper and her beautiful garden. The photographer forgot to take a photo of the outside of the camper. Oh well…lots of photos today and be sure to check out the links to some cool free quilt patterns.

At Suzy Quilts website, she has a second free pattern for using Charley Parker bird fabric. Check it out Here.
One more free pattern for scrappy quilts. Thanks to Joy for telling us more about this pattern. It’s called Portal by Ricky Tims and the block is called Lady Fingers.
Ruth B worked on her binding today and returned the Tulip Pattern to Lynda Mac.
Linda H reported that she’s been working on the Crane panel and ordered some navy blue fabric for it. She needed a flying geese pattern and Cheryl had the exact size flying geese pattern and made a copy for Linda H. Maggie later emailed the group with directions for making flying geese blocks.
Deborah continues to work on the Catch the Sun Quilt.
Gayle has been busy gardening and working outside. She had an adventure with a black snake in her shed and had a wonderfully funny story about her lawn mower.
Until next time…. “In the quilt of life, friends are the stitches that hold it together.”
