11/9/23: CCLQ at DeeDee’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry  Creek Lane Quilters.  On 11/9/23 the quilters met at DeeDee’s.  Lots of heartfelt show and tell to and the Round Robin is in full swing!

DeeDee provided some yummy snacks for bee today. 

Cheryl showed some photos of quilt ideas for a baby quilt.  

Here’s the block that Cheryl chose for Carol’s bag for the Round Robin. 

Cheryl’s block for Carol.  The group decided that showing blocks is optional. If you feel inspired to share, please do so.  If you’d rather wait for the surprise at the end of the Round Robin…that’s fine too.

Ruth gave Maggie a mug caddy kit.

Ruth made a lovely table topper for a hostess gift at Thanksgiving dinner. 

Ruth is sewing the binding on  this nice donation quilt.

Heartfelt!
