3/26/26 CCLQ @ Ruth's

  Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  The meeting was held at Ruth's home and we had sweets with our chats and show-n-tell.

Maggie started by Showing Ella's Ella Quilt (yes that is correct).  The pattern is called Ella and Candy got for her to try out.  Candy stepped up to apply the binding ... I'd say that's Full Circle.

The group had a Saturday sewday at Family house and here is Maggie's Trail Tote Bag finished and a bowl cozy made using a new curve ruler that has a few diffent size curves 

Candy showed us her design wall that has her blocks for the "Safety Dance" quilt pattern by Sewistry NC which is a modern, block-based design inspired by airplane safety signs, featuring radiating "arms".  The ruler for half rectangles by Creative grids didn't cover the unique size that the pattern called for so back to the template she made to get the exact angle. 

Britt was busy quilting this lovely top by Ella that she made for a donation.  It was the perfect chance for Britt to use a new panto design that I for one will want on my quilts.

Deborah has the ocean view from space quilt top all together and it is amazing.  Each fabric is a photo of the earth oceans from space.

Deborah stepped up for this challenge art quilt called "The Pollening 1".  2 will be a microscopic view of pollen.  This fabric center was from a piece of jelly plate printed fabric.  So perfect for this pollen project where she then used some decorative machine stitching to highlight the plant structure and leaves.

Gayle has found her Chapel Hill treasure again and may now continue to apply the hand embroidery embelishment.  It's her bring along project that needs to stay out of the closet. 

Ruth has these UFO rail fence blocks all done and ready for donation.

Next up for Ruth is an eye spy that has more cutting then she remembers for the last one.  And requested some Christmas fabric scraps since she sent her entire stash of Holiday fabric up to the Bluff so she could work with it over the summer.

Carol whipped up this scrappy donation in no time at all.  The tiny scraps in the shashing and border was a bit of a challenge with the seam allowances but it does look great!

Thats it for this week good luck with the pollening that is happening around here.

3/12/2026 CCLQ @ Lynda's

Thanks Lynda!  That's it for this week.

 

3/5/26: CCLQ at Maggie’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Quilters met at Maggie’s and what a fun meeting! Featured below are some amazing quilts!!!!   Lots of laughs as you will understand as you read more on today’s blog. Today was also special in that several quilters left after the meeting to go to the “Art Feeds the Soul” Quilt Show in Elon, NC. 

Candy’s UFO was made from green and black orphan blocks.  Candy was not so happy with this project.  We showed her the photo and everyone agreed this was a wonderful modern quilt!  Candy plans to add a border and later in the meeting Maggie brought out a couple of green fabrics that might work.  Stay tuned for next week to see the outcome! 

Candy made some lovely potholders with Paula Nadelstern fabrics. 

Maggie made some fun bowl cozies with bacon fabric and other fabrics. 

This is Maggie’s UFO….WoW!  She plans to save it for her nephew’s graduation quilt.  

One of today’s show stoppers! Maggie created this gorgeous quilt and Britt quilted it. 

Cheryl finished piecing the back of the blue quilt. She’s also been working in the garden. Cheryl shared the following advice with us and the room rolled with laughter. 

Carol brought a piece of fabric with a vintage 1950’s design . 

Carol sewed up this amazing wonky log cabin scrappy quilt. 

Britt displays another show stopper!!!!  This is a ten year old Big Dipper quilt. Britt has chosen a panto for quilting this one. Lynda said, “Can I have it?” 

DeeDee bought this lovely linen/cotton panel and some Tilda fabrics at Quilt Con.  DeeDee counseled that if you find a UFO and don’t want to finish it, you can give it away. Orphan blocks are just blocks not UFO’s. 

Lynda shared her purchases from Quilt Con. Lynda also reported that she started a quilt with a layer cake and made 42 blocks.  Britt helped Lynda put a design wall. 

                                           

   

Deborah reported that she continues to make blocks with the Ocean View fabric. 

Joy also shared a photo of the group at the Quilt Show.

Until next time, happy quilting!
