6/6/19 - CCLQ on Margaret's Porch

Welcome to another meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  This week, 9 members met on Margaret's back porch surrounded by nature and filled with calming breeze.

Our CCLQ Editor is away.  Fortunately, Joy was able to attend this week's meeting.  Thanks to Jean, for being willing to stand in, if necessary!!

Show and Tell is the highlight of any quilt meeting.  Here is ours...
