2/13/25: CCLQ at Carol’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week the group met at Carol’s and enjoyed wonderful treats and lovely show and tell.

DeeDee shared a couple of blocks from a baby quilt she has started.  The pattern is called, “Mile a Minute.”

Cheryl showed this beautiful donation quilt.  

Cheryl recently visited Murrell’s Inlet, SC and found a great quilt shop.  Cheryl found some beautiful fabric!

Ruth is making a lovely “Bonnie” quilt and brought a strip of  this project to share. 

Linda is making some beach themed quilts for friends. She is using some laser cut appliqués purchased years ago from Ye Old Forest Quilt Shop in Winston Salem. 

Great job on sewing these appliqués Linda! 

Looking forward to seeing the next beach themed quilts. 

Carol deconstructed her foundation scrap strips and created a stunning new quilt design! She took apart the first quilt made with strips, then cut the strips into 6 inch blocks and starched it. 

Carol made this adorable baby quilt featuring chicken fabric in the center. 

Carol also created this fun baby quilt featuring Angry Birds fabric in the middle. 

Maggie shared this beautiful donation quilt. 

Maggie brought this book to share. 

Here’s another awesome donation quilt from Maggie. Notice the charm squares in the border that Lynda gave away a couple of weeks ago.

Candy showed her scrappy blocks from our Sew Day at Family House. She gave the blocks to Carol. 

One of Candy’s friends gave her a bunch of upholstery fabrics.  Candy brought them to share with the group. 

Gayle shared this spectacular black and white quilt which will go to a friend in her Fellowship group.

Candy shared a photo of the carpet from a hotel.  The design might inspire a quilt pattern or quilting design.

Gayle shared her inspiration for the black and white quilt. The center square is 4.5 in, strips are 4.5x2.5in, corner squares are 2.5 in. Gayle also shared directions for making corner triangle blocks and setting triangles…see below. 

Deborah shared a photo of a sewing bird. DeeDee and Deborah visited Ruth B to make suggestions for sewing adaptations. They plan another visit soon and will see if this will help with holding fabric. Here’s an interesting history of the Sewing Bird .

The group ended with our motivational discussion of what we plan to work on during the next week. DeeDee suggested we do this a while back and it has been helpful for many of us! Thank you DeeDee!  

Until next time, happy quilting!!!

2/6/2025 CCLQ @ Ruth S's

 

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!  This week Ruth S. hosted and had a great display of quilts on her upstairs railing.

Gayle started us off with her latest donation quilt top that she is Sooooooo happy tobe finished with.

Deborah now is halfway done with ther storm at sea project that is a uof that has been around for awhile.

Ella has another donation top this pattern is the over sized potatoe chip where the blocks are 6x12".  She has also completed and turned in two lovely children/baby quilts.

Maggie showed the completed Barry Lighthouses donation quilt that is sure to bring joy to any Seafarer recipient.  The backing and quilting are just perfect.   She also had a completed baby quilt made from (8) 9" finished half squares.

Joy is doing up the "Pink" month challenge with 2 examples and then she is working on a blue challenge that requires her to make 3 traditional blocks.  Two are done with one to go.  Can you guess the block names?   She is using J O Y as the first letter of the blocks.  The "Y" block is still in the works.

Deedee has her Kitty all done that was a challenge with her Mixed Media group. She has also completed a baby donation Lickety Split.

Linda has her borders all done and a light lavender backing fabric ready for Gayle to longarm for her.

Lynda has the final borders on her donation quilt and has enough of the light skinny border fabric to piece a back with the darker version of that fabric included.  It just pops along with cheer.

Carol or should we call her Speedy.  She just received these 9-patch recut blocks on Tuesday at the Senior Center and has the baby quilt top all together by Thursday morning.  But wait she didn't let the moss grow and also used fabrics she got on Tuesday to make up a Villa Rosa design called La France.

Ruth and Angela were able to join us today and Ruth told us about her Round Robin Challenge giving her some problems but she will continue and bring it for show-n-tell soon.

Ruth also made a baby donation with a lovely assortment of pinks.  She is planning to start a "Bonnie" quilt with the floral pink & green fabrics next.

Thats it for this week from these Quilters!
