9/8/2022 CCLQ at Candy's

 

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting!

Ella started a new project and was asking for advice on sashing size and layout options. Think we agreed 2" strips for sashing (1.5 finished) and use a darker brown for the corner stones.  Not sure if it will be set on point or straight rows.

Deedee finishing up the binding on Big Bird donation quilt and showed a completed donation

Maggie showed her donation and Guild fabric challenge ready for the Quilt show next month.

Ruth has her O's quilting started with the serpentine stitch.  And Carol brought her back a quilted donation that is ready for trimming and binding.

Carol got the opportunity to try out Gayles longarm after last weeks meeting and did a wonderful job outlining her grandsons Batman panel.  Guess who now has the longarm bug?   

Stay tuned same Bat Channel .... Bat time early 2023

Deborah showed a few treats that Gayle is donating to Family House for their Bingo nights.

Candy showed the final binding (Thanks to Ella for the burgandy suggestion ... only fitting since the leaf fabric was hers to start with) and handed it over to turn in at the next Guild meeting.

Now that show-n-tell was done we were all Treated to a fabric fest (no tricks involved) of precuts that Candy was offering up for any one who could use them.

Sew until next week ...

9/1/2022 CCLQ @ Ruth's

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting!

Cheryl started with sharing her quilting books she was able to get a recent CH Library sale.  Then showed us her completed Baby Bear quilt that is for her first Grandchild who will make his arrival soon.  She zipped thru a previously shown donation quilt and finished showing an in-process Rainbow pillow also for the new baby.

Ruth showed the sandwiched Baby Blues quilt ready for the walking foot.  Then Carol gave Ruth back her Bunnies donation quilt which is now quilted and ready for binding.

Carol has worked some orphan blocks into a lovely child size throw.  She made two one is shown and the other is at home being quilted.  The extra length is going to take a bit more time to muscle under the needle.

Maggie showed her finished challenge Friendship Wreath  followed by two donation tops that are made from 5" charms. Also eyeglass cases and sleep mask made from cute red eyeglass fabric.

Friendship Wreath Link a few examples

Gayle has gotten her Starry Night fat quarter fabrics and a little matching yardage from Deborah.  After a little experimentation with technique she'll be creating a new original wall hanging.

Candy had a few shows starting with a picture frame sporting decorative stitching and corner hanging pockets on the back.  She asked for binding opinions for a donation quilt then showed a 70's batik print that would make a wonderful bed runner or wall hanging.

Others reported they are busy with life and Happy to be here!

“There should have been a better farewell. But in the end, there never is.

What will we do with  "meagre scraps"  for show next week?
