12/14/23: CCLQ at Chapel Hill Library Meeting Room

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Linda H was our hostess this week and we had a great turnout at the library.  Today was the Round Robin Challenge bag sharing.  Lots of beautiful quilts in the making and some wonderful show and tell today. 

DeeDee finished the top and backing for the baby quilt!  She also made a pillow for a friend. 

Here’s the top of the lovely baby quilt.

The back of the baby quilt is also unique in that it features baby African animals.  

Maggie shared a photo of a pattern for a cosmetic bag that she’s making. 

Maggie delighted us with this fun penguin banner.  

Pattern is from Missouri Star Quilting 

Maggie also purchased this cool pattern from Missouri Star. 

Lynda reported that she busy getting ready for Christmas and also purchased a new car which arrives today. 

Cheryl finished a baby quilt.  She loves sewing in her sewing room now that there’s more space.

Gayle finished this gorgeous Christmas Ribbons Quilt top! 

This will be the backing fabric for the Christmas quilt. 

Carol was so excited to get the adorable Grinch quilt “number one” back from Gayle who did a great job quilting it. 

Carol shows the second Grinch quilt also quilted by Gayle.  

Deborah is busy binding this donation quilt and also busy getting ready for Christmas. 

Ruth S found a box of Christmas do-dads and is inspired by snowmen this year. 

Candy made this cute reindeer table topper.

Candy also finished this lovely candle table runner. 

Linda reported that her sister in law is a quilter and gave Linda an assortment of 1930’s prints.


Ruth B reported that she’s enjoying learning about her new car with lots of new safety features.  

Ruth S also has a relatively new car and offered to share her short story entitled, “Bells and Whistles.”
Years ago Ruth took a memoirs witting class at the Duke Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). This was when she bought Lisa’s car and had to learn all the new features about it. The group was eager to hear this story and roared with laughter at how Ruth described her adventures learning to operate the features of the new car. This blogger regrets that the story was not videotaped.

Until next time….quilt and laugh each day as much as possible!!!!
