11/4/21 - CCLQ @ ZoomBEE

Welcome to another meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  Thank you to Ruth B. for serving as today's hostess and to Deborah for scheduling our meeting on Zoom.  At 45* this morning, it was definitely too cold to gather outdoors!

Show and Tell...

Deborah:

Nothing to show, but she's been working on binding.  Later, she shared that she recently acquired her mother's rock paintings.  This strawberry is the only one that I got a decent photo of:

Lynda Mac

She's working on getting her 2nd Calico Cats quilt top together:

Ruth S. is back from New York

With stories to tell and projects to share...

She will be making another of these table runners for a family gift exchange

Maggie is back from a month at the lake...

She started out with a quilt puzzle, but hold onto your hats because she was a whirlwind of activity!

Britt has been busy quilting for others

And is happy to report that her commission was underbid by another quilter so that's off her To Do List:

Gayle...

Reported that her next Lori Holt block is ready to applique:

Joy had 2 tells - She started work Southern Season.  She also had 2 offers yesterday on the old house and 3 showings booked for today:

Ruth B...

She's sad to say that her neighbor is moving away.

Ruth took Gayle's "preparing for winter" tasks to heart and has been doing the same.

Apologies to Maggie for missing all of the pattern information from her quilt making extravaganza at the lake.  (I would be happy to add the information, if you will drop me a text or email listing them in the order of the photos.)

Until next time...

Let's go SEW!!!

10/28/21 - CCLQ @ ZoomBEE

Welcome to another week with the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters!!  Today, we had planned to meet in Dee Dee's driveway with Linda slated to be in charge of snacks.  Alas, Linda had her Covid booster yesterday and wasn't sure she would be up to fulfilling her hostess duties.  Deborah was kind enough to schedule a Zoom meeting for us instead.
