4/17/2025 CCLQ @ Ruth B's

It's Thursday so you know what that means .... some show-n-tell time with the Chery Creek Lane Quilters.

Maggie showed the Stepping Stones Frog donation quilt with it's pink pieced back. Then she gave Candy her Josephines Knot donation that has been quilted and now needs the binding.

Carol is all charm with her latest donation creation from charms and half charms.

Deedee has the binding all done on this donation panel cutie. She has also got a new "Potato Chip" quilt top together. She then did a surprise gift for Ruth S of a snowman panel. This will be a much better ending to the story.

Lynda finished the binding on one of Ruth S's donation quilts.

Candy has another Malaysian Panel wall hanging completed ready for friends when she next visits them.

Gayle continues to make quilts for each of her Fellowship members. This nine patch beauty is sure to wrap around the feet the tall recipient.

Ruth S. showed her finished NICU donation quilt (So Pretty In Pink). Then she presented a Group Gift to Angela whose sure to love the purple flowers pictured in the quilt. Tears and Hugs followed.

Cheryl showed the companion baby quilt of the Modern Purple blocks that is ready for donation. She then told us her change of plans for the Josephine Knot queen size quilt she is working on. Just shows that fabric choices can need swapping once the pieces are cut and shown together. Her center block fabic is going to have to work with these existing fabics better than the original "white".

Joy showed us a photo of the latest miniture quilt from last Saturday at the Family House sit-n-sew day.

Ruth B had a great tell that her Round Robin Challenge from last year is now together and totally out of her mind. She has a new challenge to work on some strips that Sizzle as well as a mini quilt from fabrics left over from her Jacket Quilt.
