1/18/24: CCLQ at Gayle’s


Those Cherry Creek Lane Quilters are at it again!!!! Settle in and enjoy the weekly quilt show and tell!

Quilters were greeted by this lovely quilt at Gayle’s home this week. 


Gayle finished the binding on the beautiful Christmas Ribbons quilt.

Ruth B reported that she made a bag for a friend.  

Cheryl is back from her travels and reported that she had a good time.  She visited Cumberland Island in Georgia and the group had an interesting talk about Carol Ruckdeschel also known as the Turtle Lady who lives on the island. Here are a couple of links about Carol  and Wild Woman of Cumberland Island . I’m sure there are some photos in the one article that may inspire a quilt design! 


Ruth S is excited about her upcoming birthday party!  Her family is coming in town today. 


Ella brought a nice piece of flannel for a design wall to give away.  Ruth volunteered to take it to the Tuesday Quilt Group. 
Linda has been busy working on her quilting studio.  She brought several items to share. The first was a zipper bag kit for Maggie. 

          
Secondly, she brought a recipe for potato chip cookies for Candy.  Candy offered to make these cookies the next time we meet at her home. 

Gayle received the third surprise… a large bag of fabric markers.  Thank you Linda! 

Carol showed this fun scrappy quilt made of Marvel comic characters. Carol also returned a lovely donation quilt to Candy for binding.

Lynda recently purchased the new Tilda Cocoa Blue fabric line. 

Drum roll please…..
Lynda showed this spectacular Tilda quilt top.  We’ve all been waiting to see this one.

Lynda plans to use the fabric in her hand for the border.

Candy purchased two new quilt patterns.



DeeDee’s been sewing up a storm or maybe solar flare?  DeeDee created this dramatic donation quilt with left over batik triangles. 

DeeDee also stitched up this nice wheelchair quilt using more left over batik triangles. 

Danny and Gayle
One of Gayle’s goals for this year is to paint.  Here are four wonderful paintings completed so far. 

Gayle models the painting smock she found at nearby Roses. Our grandmas and mothers wore these and called them house coats.

Gayle also shared her “Chef Gayle” jacket that she received as a birthday gift a couple of years ago. 

Quote of the day:  regarding why quilters like to buy so much fabric…

“You can’t put a price on passion!”  DeeDee

Until next time, keep those sewing machines running!
