11/20/2025 CCLQ @ Ella's

 Welcome.  The Cherry Creek Lane Quilters had a pre-Thanksgiving meeting hosted by Ella.  Here are some finished, some planned, and some inprocess projects


We had terible news that morning that our friend and fellow quilter Linda passed away the day before.  The quilt we were working on for her in her favorite color was done and ready for the signature label.  We hope her daughter Margaret will get a bit of comfort from it with all our thoughts and prayers wrapped up in it.


A few extra hearts on the back look more like "L's" for Linda.


Gayle put the group in a more light hearted mood by showing us her finished Jacket.





Gayle found this big stitch through in a shop and just had to get it.  Possible plans are to use it in another garment in 2026.


 

Joy reports that Matthew is on his way to Arizona


Brit has a finished donation quilt from the Marque patten of the Fat Quarter Style book.






Cheryl has her 2nd inprocess landscape quilt.  Just a few more tweaks and we might see the 3rd and final version.  Yeah Cheryl.


Deedee contiues to work with Ruth B's. squares to make a donation quilt.  So far she has 9 squares and is thinking it will get a sashing in between the blocks.

11-13-25: CCLQ at Gayle’s

FABRIC ATTACK!

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week nine quilters met at Gayle’s home.  As you read along…see if you can tell why the blogger thought someone said, “FABRIC ATTACK," when they actually said something else.  Today we had a large group with lots of chatter, so it was often hard for the blogger to hear what folks were saying.  This came through…. Connecting Threads is having a big sale if you need more fuel for your FABRIC ATTACK!

This is the beautiful piece that Joy made as part of the “Make It Mini” challenge. 

Close up…this fiber and paint piece was mounted on a small canvas. 

Here’s the product that Joy used to adhere the fabric to the canvas. 

Carol reported that the Christmas decorations are up!  Also,  her fabrics have exploded in her sewing room. She has spent some time reorganizing that space. 


Ruth donated some coasters and a lovely table topper for the Passmore bazaar. 

Ruth also donated this wonderful “Bonnie” quilt to the bazaar. 

DeeDee brought her load of fabric finds in this delightful kitty bag. 

DeeDee found many good deals at the thrift shops in the Edisto area. 





Deborah found this colorful fabric at the Quilted Needle Quilt shop in Pittsboro, NC. 

This additional piece is also part the line. 


Candy shared the Eliza quilt pattern.

Here’s Candy’s amazing Eliza quilt that she plans to give to her son-in-law. 

Gayle is working on this beautiful Kaffe Fassett jacket. 

The collar

The sleeves

Maggie made these adorable placemats fro the bazaar.

These Thanksgiving themed placemats are sure to be a hit. 

The placemats are reversible! 

Britt has been working on several long arm projects.  She is collecting fabric for the wedding quilt.  Each block will have 56 pieces!!!!!!!

Here’s the wedding quilt pattern.  

Look closely…Here’s the detailed view of the layout for one block. Britt plans to use the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt approach to make all these tiny components. 

Until next time, happy quilting!
