1/19/17 CCLQ at Candy's

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  Nine quilters met at Candy's house this week. Candy treated us to homemade zucchini muffins, coffee and tea.

DeeDee started off show and tell with this 1998 block of the month quilt that Ruth S brought to the group. Each quilter completed a block and DeeDee put it together. Nice job DeeDee! 
Joanna will quilt this one and Ruth S will do the binding. It will be a donation quilt for someone very lucky.

Ella made this quilt for her grandson's friend and it's finished!

Joanna went to the quilt expo in Sanford and found fabric for a Josephine's Knot quilt.  Deborah shared the pattern. Can't wait to see this one!
