12-28-23: CCLQ at Maggie’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Today the quilters met at Maggie’s home. As this year comes to an end, DeeDee shared her quilting goals for the coming year.  This planted some seeds for us all to consider. Today was also the Round Robin bag exchange which is always an exciting time. Opening a new bag and finding the lovely fabrics, sparking new ideas and getting a peak at the blocks already made is great inspiration for us all. 


Cheryl brought two bags to pass on today as she’ll be out of town when the next Round Robin exchange occurs. 

Lucky Carol who won a set of the Christmas blocks at the last DOQ meeting, shared this wonderful table runner made from three of the blocks.  She plans to make a quilt with the 16 remaining blocks. 

Carol also shared this beautiful “You are My Sunshine” quilt created with stars and flowers for each grandchild.  

Deborah shared a precut appliqué pattern for a dog quilt.  She will make a small wall quilt for her sister in law as a memory quilt.  


DeeDee was happy to show the beautiful baby quilt! DeeDee shared that her goals for the new year are to learn six new quilting techniques and to use 100 yards of fabric from her stash!  Thanks DeeDee for planting the seed for all us to create some quilting goals!!!


Britt used a new quilting design to quilt this one. 

This quilt has a lovely back and could be reversible.

Ruth made adorable snowmen postcards for family and friends. Ruth is working on the binding for the Blooming Nine patch quilt…remember folks, Ruth stated that she’s never making a king  or queen size quilt again!  💡Ruth shared a wonderful idea for matching pillow shams. She purchased color coordinated pillow cases and sewed a border on them with scraps from the original quilt. 

Britt made a clever gift for her sister who enjoys pottery. She made a denim roll and a cloth basket for holding pottery tools. 

Britt and Lynda.  Lynda shared that she has finished all 25 of the Tilda ladies blocks.


Britt also shared a photo of a rag rug made on a loom. 


Ruth has been traveling so not much time for sewing.  Her daughter loved the bag made with the cute dog fabrics. 

Maggie shared this interesting quilt in progress. The piece on the left was donated to the Tuesday group, so Maggie stitched up a new panel and plans to complete this by adding panels to each side of the original braid. 

Maggie shared some Christmas gifts...a pattern and new fabrics. 

A new ruler

Wrapping paper created by children in her DIL’s art class. 

A wonderful pattern and quilt kit!

Fabric bowl made with cotton close line.

Linda reported that she purchased a new wide ironing board.  

Christmas gnome made from yarn.

Maggie shared this cosmetic bag that she made from a pattern from Missouri Star Quilters.
