5/8/25 CCLQ @ Passmore

 Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting!  Linda was the hostess this week and we had a special visitor back with us.  Lisa was over from the UK visiting and was able to join us.  

Gayle started off with a show of some retail shopping online at Sew Snips.  The lovely 8 yard bolt was only $30.  These are some of the fabrics she will use for the quilts she is making for her Fellowship members.



Deborah has "used it up" with some left over fabric for both the front and back of this quilt.  It will sure be a reversible quilt.



Ruth shared her Round Robin quilt hot off the longarm.  With a little help on the binding this one can be called done!  Now that it's together you can really see how the color placement affects the blocks.   Ruth also shared that she is planning to relocate to Alexandria, VA tobe closer to family and get some more out of the house activities and socializing.


Carol has risen to the challenge of completing one of Tanya's started blue and beige blocks.  She also had a lot of fun adding the rounds of borders to the lone piece of Novelty fabric that is so full of the perfect 1950's homemaker.  No barefeet on these ladies.




Linda has the jungle babies quilt finished and bound.  The flannel backing is sure to be the softest wrap up for the little one.  Her current project of purple blocks is a bit challenging since she ran out of the center fabric and Joann's has gone out of business.  The hunt is on for a similar tone and the other blocks will bring variety to the quilt.




Ruth S. wasn't with us but her Round Robin patriotic quilt is complete and ready to donate for the next needed Vetrans quilt.


Candy really showcased the leaf fabric in this donation quilt.  She quilted it herself and it's just wonderful.  



Maggie showed her retail shopping from Friday at the quilt show in Winston Salem as well as a stop at Calla Lilly.


Deedee also showed her purchases from Calla Lilly.  The last 2 photo's were of the shop samples of the pattern she got to make placemats.





  

Lisa was a welcome visitor who joined in and showed us a baby blanket she is crocheting.  The one round with the red dot's sure looks like roses.  It's hard to remember when Lisa left for the UK it was just as if she was with us last week.  Anytime Lisa, hope to see you at the Holidays when you are back in NC.


That's it for this week.  Sew on ....
