7/13/23: CCLQ at Candy’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters. This week the group met at Candy’s.  After a tour of Candy’s new home and enjoying delicious blueberry coffee cake, the group settled in for show and tell. The group talked about the upcoming Round Robin.  Deborah suggested that folks may want to make a copy of Maggie’s well organized email and the attachment with directions. 

DeeDee also brought some fabric and possible block ideas for a warm up project that would happen prior to the Round Robin.  This would involve each member who chooses to participate, to make one block and then the collected blocks would be made into a donation quilt. 

DeeDee started the fabric sashing for the fish quilt. She also found a nice blue fabric at Cary Quilting for this project. 

DeeDee shared this lovely fabric as a possible choice for our block donation quilt. 

This green fabric with colorful circles could also be an option for the group quilt. 

DeeDee brought this book with options for blocks for our group quilt. 

Block 1

Block 2
The group will talk more about this next week to see who would like to participate. 

Ruth brought more of her Kaffe blocks and possible fabrics for sashing. 

The blocks were placed on Candy’s design wall and fabrics were auditioned…Candy had a purple fabric that looked like a good option. 

Candy showed this wonderful quilt top and possible backing below.  Candy plans to donate this quilt. 

Candy found a new mixer cover pattern on Etsy. 

Here’s the fabric for the main part of the cover and the pockets will be a different color. 

Margaret gave Candy this fabric for possible appliqué on the cover.  Candy will explore more options like maybe some appliquéd cupcake fabric. 

Carol created some lovely Christmas in July donation quilts. 

Here’s another fun Christmas donation quilt.

Carol created this amazing donation quilt from tiny scraps!  Carol also had enough left over blocks to make a mini quilt with these blocks and the photo of the mini quilt somehow disappeared .

                                  DeeDee shared this photo of Ruby on her new doggy quilt. 

Deborah showed the fabric that will be used for sashing and borders for her T-shirt quilt project. 

                                    Linda shared news of her daughter’s upcoming move. 

Until next time, happy quilting!
