10/19/2023 CCLQ @ Candy's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.   Busy schedules and general life resulted in a small group of 3 at Candy’s but still had lots to talk about and ideas to share.

Cheryl started off by showing some donation trivets that will go to the "Tuesday Group" for the Senior Center Holiday Craft Fair scheduled for December 9th from 9am to 2pm.


Next she showed her 2nd quilt made from the lovely printed birds.  This one is being donated and the other will remain with her.


Maggie has 3 donation baby quilts that are for the next 3 weeks.  Count down is on to finish up this year long challenge of 1 a week.





Our hostest had quite the tell about a wonderful printed wideback.  As she always does this piece of fabric was prewashed a number of times and it continues to bleed and turn the color catches blue.  After calling Pineapple to ask if they knew anything about it ... they suggested


After calling Pineapple to ask if they knew anything about it ... they suggested Syntrapol.  


If the backing ever stops running this is the top that it will be quilted with.


Candy went through her photo albums after last week's talk about the chicken that kept trying to bite her when she was training for the Peace Corps.


Along with the infamous chicken photo she also has "fond" memories of the large scorpions that were a part of her Peace Corps experience.


That's it for this week.  Sew on and don't let the scorpions sting.
