3-20-25: CCLQ at Lynda’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week the group met at Lynda’s.  Enjoy news about recent trips to quilt shows, inspiring quilts, art work and fabric. A special bonus this week are some photos of  Ruth B working on her Round Robin project.  DeeDee and Deborah visited Ruth last Tuesday and were impressed with her progress. 


Candy just returned from a beach trip with her grandkids. She continues to work on the Josephine’s Knot quilt and will show it next week. 

Deborah brought an antique apple core quilt top hand pieced by her grandmother. 

The group provided lots of suggestions for finishing the quilting including tying it or using a large loft batting to help with the puckers along the curved piecing. 

Ruth s competed the binding on this donation quilt. 

Ruth found some paw print fabric for the border and backing for this adorable baby quilt for her nephew’s baby. 

Ruth purchased this nifty card holder at the Capital Quilt Show in Raleigh.


DeeDee shared this sweet baby quilt in progress with the borders and corner blocks. 

DeeDee used this pattern. 


Yikes…DeeDee shared this photo of what can happen if you don’t close your rotary cutter and it falls to the floor. 

DeeDee created this fiber art piece on a left over color catcher.  

DeeDee finished this exquisite art quilt piece based upon the theme, Totem.

Here’s another sweet Winnie the Pooh donation quilt.  

Maggie has this Bear Paw pattern and is looking for the special set of rulers.

Lynda added borders for the sweet llama donation quilt. 


Lynda shared this Easy Quilts magazine. 

Ruth had a regular ironing board which we lowered so she could press the Round Robin quilt. 

DeeDee added some stickers to Ruth’s Pfaff sewing machine to make it easier to locate the buttons.  

Ruth already had a stick on strip for helping to align the fabric for the quarter inch seam. We added painter’s tape for contrast.

Ruth is sewing the border on her Round Robin Quilt!    

Until next time, happy quilting!
