Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.
After talking about the latest storm outages the group shook off the weather and did a bit of show-n-tell.
Maggie had a tell about donating a 1950's machine to an afghan refugee family. 3 of the 5 children of the family are going to be in school soon and Mom thought she wanted to learn to sew. I consider her wonder women for attempting this with 2 little ones at home.
Linda's tell was about an inspiration flash in choosing what her fabrics will be for the Sampler Round Robin to start on Nov 2nd. We're all Going for a ride on the wayback machine to the 1930's.
Candy made a Kindel cover for a friend and has plans for both a runner QAYG and a baby donation. This is after she does some of the hexi coasters that she is using the Hex N More ruler for.
Carol has 4 blocks for the Vetrans donation bed quilts the Tuesday Group is working on. She has come up with a wonderful use of her Family vintage hankies. Starching, folding, and stitching produces a Butterfly from each hankie.
Utube Hankie Butterfly blockFinally she shared a scrappy baby blanket that will be getting the binding over the next few evenings.
Ruth had a question for the group about sashing strip size. She is almost done with all the blocks and has started to try out sizes 2.5 or 1.75
DeeDee did the big reveal of the child's quilt top she put together after collecting the group blocks. What a wonderful feeling we each got by participating in the project.
Joy joined us for a bit before she headed to work. She shared her 22 day journal that is almost done. She and Britt joined a Messy Art Journal group and were surprised to find Maggie's Daughter-in-law Sarah is a member. Although she didn't bring them she sent photo's of the latest quilted baskets. She does take a little time from journaling to quilt.
Gayle's sewing mojo is back. She created an original top from some stash Tula Pink charms. Imagination and a queen bed to layout a design is going to make someone very happy.
Deborah was not with us but shared a photo of the memory quilt top that is for a friends daughter.
That's it for this week.
Thank's to Gayle for the goodies and hosting.
- A good day is a day spent quilting.
