Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters. This week the quilters met at the home of Ruth S. The group enjoyed the beautiful show of quilts and fabric and a lively discussion about how to manage our fabric collections, how to remember how to make a microwave bowl cozy and how we all seem to be distracted these days. Be sure to scroll to the end to see the tips!

| Deborah saw this lovely quilt kit on Shabby Fabrics and impulsively added it to her fabric collection. |
Tips about making a microwave bowl cozy: (This blogger takes no responsibility for these tips.)
*Always watch a “how to” Video on YouTube before making one.
*Use all cotton batting. If you’re not sure if you have all cotton, test your batting in the microwave. If it sparkles…TURN the Microwave OFF and you know not to use that batting.
* Purchase Wrap and Zap and keep in a marked bag so you know it’s 100% cotton.
Tips about organizing fabric stash:
* organize by color
*organize by yardage
*store fat quarters in shoe boxes
* fold fabric on comic book boards
* use label maker to label yardage
* store in dresser drawers
* refer to Karen Brown’s YouTube on stash storage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOt1X4buUXM
