10/31/24 - NT Nights @ The Clubhouse

Welcome to the October 2024 meeting of the NT Nights Quilt Bee!!  It's been a long while since we've released a post, but photos were taken and here's what happened this month.  Since we met on Halloween, we ended up with a small group, but still thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

Here is the group that gathered and Britt brought her Barn Quilt to share, as Sue is trying to assess interest for a class:


Karen brought this scrappy purple she finished recently:


Maggie completed this Halloween table runner...


With an interesting backing:


She worked on her Cord Holders for the upcoming Craft Sale at the Passmore Center:


Karen worked on cutting out her next donation quilt:


Britt did some art journaling:


Sue passed out some prearranged swaps and collected hers:


Here are Joy and Sue with the darling pin cushion that Sue found for Joy's birthday last month:


Joy showed the projects she worked on at retreat (photo from THIS post) a couple of weeks ago...

October TABLE SCRAPS Challenge:


Sweet Kisses quilt top with blocks pieced by Britt:


My Circle Denim quilt UFO is in one piece after more years than I can recall:


Snow Stars has been sewn into rows (which were squished together to resemble a top.)  These blocks were the Holiday Blocks at CQG in 2001:


Karen V. wasn't able to attend, but attached her show and tell for us...

One of these days I hope to make it! I usually have book club that night, but this time we have Halloween plans. Have fun!
Karen



Until next time...
Quilt On!!!

10/31/2024: CCLQ at Ella's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Ella was our host this week lets see what went on.


Candy started us off and handed over the Panda Baby donation quilt to be turned in at the Passmore Tuesday Group meeting.  She had an exciting tell that her daughter is expecting.  This Yellow and Teal is just too cute with the cat hearts on the back.  The Bunny fabric is destined to be made into a baby quilt once the companion fabrics are found.  And what to do with the 2 left over panda blocks.


 



Carol finished a 2nd donation quilt using the 3 printed panel blocks.  And she is so done with the panel blocks.  How wonderful the U's and N's look in the scrappy childs top.



No show for Lynda but had some fun quilting on the Christmas Quilt at Britt's sit down machine.


Ruth is Back and has a "Bonnie" top ready for donation quilting.  SHe shared some delicious apples from upper NY.  The final tell was an introduction to a new member of the family.  Her son got this cute little labrador puppy.




Maggie has added the borders on Barry's UFO Light House's.  A patriotic top is ready for quilting and donation.



Linda has the baby Forest Friends ready binding and then the Shower.


Deedee has the art project started last week completed and ready for the Mixed Media Group.   She is super happy with the fat quarter stack of little animals (Tilda fabric I think).  The latest big boy quilt top is done from a modified BQ3 pattern.





Ella has got her table runner quilting inprocess and we got to see her Blue Hearts up close and personal.




We had some Spooky good treats without any tricks. 

That's All the Fun for this week!
