7/30/2026 CCLQ @ Cheryl's

Cherry Creek Lane Quilters (of the Nimble Thimble Bee) Welcome you to our weekly show-n-tell meeting.

DeeDee has completed the Paris Woodworker quilt done and ready for gifting.

Candy was showing us Throw Back Thursday Treasures.

Lynda's new fabric is ready for the Teddy Bear Park pattern.

Lynda has decided that this UFO from Passmore is going back.  Life is too short to be frustrated with a project that someone else will enjoy.

Deborah has started making a Patriotic quilt for the Countries 250th year.  She is using paper plates to keep the pieces for each block organized.  She upsized a technique for making a basket that is going to be used as a fitted cover for some display cases.  Way to think out of the box Deb.

 

Maggie has the Camper quilt trimmed and waiting for binding.

Joys got her latest original top and back together.

Gayle told us she is going to make some table runners with the remaining Ruth B fabrics she has been working with.

Cheryl is happy to receive some Camper Pot Holders from some of Maggies leftover fabric.  And she is happy to have used up some of her leftover autum fabric to make this wonderful sampler block top.

Ruth S. sent along 2 of her finishes.  The Halloween hat for her Grandaughter is sure to be a hit this October.

That's All for Now!

7/23/2026 CCLQ Hosted by Candy

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.  This week Candy hosted at the Chapel Hill Library 8 members attending.

Lynda shared her new finds from the Burnsville quilt shop.  The book showed up just when she needed some direction to work on some blocks that are of various sizes.  She has also stared collecting dotted fabrics to build up her scrap stash.  Topping it off with another Kitty Cat donation quilt.  

Britt has this purple donation top all quilted. Nice variety of purples and pops of green and yellow from the Unkown Piecer.  

Joy has her teal/aqua challenge done

Ella is continuing with the blue half square blocks.

Candy has her 3rd and final runner ready to donate.

Gayle has a couple of tops finished ready for her longarm machine.  She has one more quilt in mind to continue using Ruth B's fabrics.

Deborah reported the beach was wonderful and she has a new project in the works.

Maggie showed a donation log cabin that was pieced by a friend.  She quilted it with batting from the Tuesday Group that sure gives it a wonderful thick feel.  Read about it here.   Also showed some doggie food placemat and bowl cozzy.  (video)  The ruler for making the cozzy curves is a standard  Multi Size Curved Corner Cutter amazon.

I cut the dart 1" from fold and 2 5/8ths down.  You could just use 2" down, I do that when using 10" squares to start. These doughnut cozys were from 10.5" squares to start.  New tip just watched Notches Sewing bowl cozy

Another way is ..

How to sew a flat fold microwave basket with handles. A new bowl cozie style or is it a storage box?

I reduced bulk by cutting a 2.25 square out of the batting corners before sewing the pillow case around the edges.
