Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.
This week at Carol's we all got a big welcome from "Big Boy", who loved the company. He was a little sad that no goodies fell off any plates. Gayle did share but that was so very long ago at the start of the meeting ... he just knew there was more where that came from.
Gayle has finished Starry Night and it is hanging on the wall at home and is ready for her Hosting next week. She was given this left over piece of indoor/outdoor fabric from Deedee after she made pillows for her porch. Gayle plans to make pillows as well.
Deedee had a great week at the beach and shared all her purchases from the Quilting at the Beach shop. First is a photo of the pillow she made of the fabric gifted to Gayle. Then follows her purchases: the panel of african animals, the birds and sail boat fabric will be a quilt for Harper and the panel for Noah's Arc with animals will be so cute and ready for play.

Deedee also shared information about an exhibit in Willmington at the Cameron Art Museum that starts with quilts from the 1800's made by enslaved women.
Candy has both quilts done and ready to gift to two deserving children friends that lost their father and could use a little comfort. She also shared information about an exhibit in Old Salem. As found in the NC Art Museum
Lynda is packing up her sewing room inorder to accomodate a visit from the New Zealand grand children (ages 12, 10, and 8) who are visiting in early July. She is also researching Historic destinations nearby so the dual citizen children may learn more about the US.
Linda has finished going thru the last box of packed away treasures and now has an overflowwing fabric stash that is just waiting for the perfect projectS (that is a capital S ... it will take many projects to use it all up. Such an unusual occurence for a quilter huh?)
Deborah has the bird panel blocks sashed and at the appropriate size. Her math skills rose to the challenge ... now for the 6" blocks for the surrounding borders. She also unearth a Car panel that was returned by Deedee but accepted by Carol who just so happened wanted to make a car theme quilt for a grandchild. Speaking of grand kiddo's Carol has a blue/pink flora top ready for quilting that is for the baby on the way: Madeline. Spelling will be just like the books by Ludwig Bemelmans (1898-1962)
Maggie has her "Hoot" all finished. From Wendy Sheppard -
Owls See You Quilt Pattern
