10/3/24: CCLQ at DeeDee’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters. This week quilters met at DeeDee’s home.  Lots of excitement was in the air about the upcoming DOQ quilt show and visit from Ruth S!  The group planned to meet on Friday at the show and go to lunch afterwards. 

There was also discussion about Hurricane Helene and the devastation in the NC Mountains.  There are several places to donate disaster relief supplies, MapleView Ice Cream, Orange Grove Fire Department on Orange Grove Road. For other places check here:   Chapelboro Disaster Relief  Our thoughts and prayers are with the all the people affected by this storm. 

Carol created two lovely quilts from some donated squares from the Tuesday group. 

Carol is sewing the binding on this wonderful carpenter’s star wedding quilt.  Beautiful quilting by Gayle. 

Candy had a fun trip to New York.  She reconnected with family and also some friends she worked with years ago in the Peace Corp.  One friend gave Candy this lovely batik fabric a while back and asked if she had made anything from it.  Candy asked for suggestions from the group and may create 5 wall hangings from this lovely fabric. 

Lynda shared this holiday fabric from Pineapple Fabric. 

Lynda has also been busy creating an amazing “After Quilt” from the fabric used in her Round Robin quilt. This will be the backing for her Round Robin Quilt. 

Joy shared her creative DOQ Kid’s Challenge Quilt.  

Cute alphabet backing fabric

Gayle finished this spectacular “Anything Goes” quilt top from Missouri Star Quilting pattern. 

This line of fabric is sprinkled with whimsical metallic designs. 

Gayle found this book in her collection and recalled that she made this beautiful quilt years ago. Also, notice the bag in Gayle’s lap…made from gelli printed fabric. 

Ella reported that she has been busy spring cleaning her apartment.  

DeeDee had lots to share.  She found this magazine that she saved because it had an article about Paula Nadelstern. https://paulanadelstern.com/

DeeDee had a big announcement!  Her sewing studio reorganization is complete!  Everyone enjoyed seeing the space.  

This adorable quilt is hanging on the doorway. 

DeeDee has purged 106.75 yards of fabric!  She has used 173.25 yards so far this year making quilts! 

Way to go DeeDee!

Deborah attended the Sandhills Quilters Guild Quilt Show in Pinehurst last weekend. 

Deborah’s sister picked out this fabric and Deborah plans to make a quilted bag for her sister’s birthday.  

                                          Deborah also purchased this ombré layer cake.  

Enjoy the DOQ quilt show!  Happy quilting!
