7/17/25 CCLQ at Carol's


Deedee and Deborah did the final reveal of the 2 quilts they made for the children of their Doctor.   Next Deedee shared a panel that is so unique of antique irons. She plans to make a wall quilt where the irons will look like they are on a shelf.  



Maggie and Alan got to visit Seagrove and she showed off her purchase from ECK Pottery.  Then on the way home they stopped at JAM Fabrics and Quilt Shop in Climax NC and she shared some fabric purchases and finally showed a donation top fresh off the sewing machine.

Gayle is sitting pretty told us about her purchase from Sew Snip of a bolt of fabric tan with leaves that she will use for backing on the next two Fellowship quilts she is working on.


Deborah told us about a Fiber artist she saw on Quilting Arts TV show where she takes fabic shavings and stitches them down on wash-away stabilizer to make nature scapes.


Candy has her runner quilted and the group gave opinions about binding colors.  


Lynda showed us her lovely donation Layer cake quilt.  Britt did such a cute motif.  She then showed us a Hedgehog donation top and a pattern:"Red Rock" for another donation she plans to start.






Joy showed us a photo of the latest creation from the prior Saturday meeting.  Just love her shirt of spools and all around great look.

 


Linda certainly wow'ed the group with this complex block repeated 20 times in this top.  


Britt is gearing up for a few days of serious quilting we'll have to wait and see the results.


Carol is entertaining Biggie and all the quilters with this donation spot lighting the MM characters as the block centers.  She shared a donation rail fence from the Tuesday Group pointing out how the backing fabric looks plush and fuzzy but is actually just cotton.  Final show-n-tell was a peak at the quilt she got back from Gayle that is beautiful and is sure to make her Daughter very happy.






That's a wrap, stay cool and keep sewing between the thunder!

7/10/25: CCLQ at Ruth B’s

 Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week quilters met at Ruth B’s home.  Ruth provided snacks and a feeding frenzy of fabric!  The group voted to do show and tell first and could hardly contain themselves from glancing toward the huge sewing table full of fabric! A big thank you to Ruth for sharing her wonderful collection of beautiful quilting fabrics with us. 




Maggie started off the show and tell with a couple of quilt books she found at McKays in Mebane. 

Maggie visited Bull Town Fabrics this week and found some beauties. 

This piece was in the sale room and everyone loved it. Can you find the cat? 

Zoom in to see the maker of the wild and colorful fabric. 

Maggie completed her project from the DOQ workshop and used some pink fabric from Bull Town fabric. 

Deborah quilted the baby quilt. 

Thanks to Maggie for the idea of diagonal quilting lines. 

Close up of one of Maggie’s fabrics…we thought Linda H would like this one because of the purple background.

Carol completed this beautiful quilt for her daughter. They visited Cary Quilting Company and found the fabrics there.
