12/11/2025 CCLQ @ Candy's

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly bee meeting.  This week Candy hosted the group in her new residence.   

Cheryl shared her finished holiday wall hanging.  Then she asked for a little help in fixing a cape hood that she is making for grandson Luka.  It was agreed that moving the hood down further into the cape neck curve might help.

The piece was inspired by my daughter who was given several Luna moth eggs for her preschool classroom.  She and the kids in the class incubated the eggs then fed the caterpillars in late spring and through the summer then released them in early October.
