11/14/19: CCLQ at Cheryl K’s

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilting bee. On November 14th, twelve quilters met at Cheryl K’s home. Please enjoy lots of photos and bee inspired by the wonderful creativity of this awesome group of women! 

Cheryl was delighted to receive these lovely coasters made by DeeDee. 

Here's the collection of coasters created by DeeDee. 

Cheryl shared a set of cards made by an artist who creates handmade paper then appliqués fabric and thread paints to create beautiful nature inspired designs. The cards are photo reproductions of the artist's work. 

If you have an Instagram account, you can check out more works from Sweet Tomato Creations. 

DeeDee happily shared this fabulous flamingo shopping bag made for a friend. 

Carol shared this cheerful Christmas table runner.  

Maggie completed the top of this wonderful red, white and blue quilt.  She used the Tri-Recs ruler. She plans to add three borders. 

The Tri-Recs rulers used in Maggie's quilt. 

Ruth B made this adorable hedgehog pillow for her daughter. 

Jean attended an embroidery workshop and models this lovely silk shirt with the embroidery design.

Ruth S created this fun fish wall hanging for her son's fishing lodge. The border fabric is fishing lures.

Ruth finished sewing the binding on Joanna's quilt for Rhett. 

Ruth B added some cuffs to her rayon batik top.  No folks, Jean is not trying to grab the top...she was leaning out of the photo...oh well.  This blog features live action photography! 

Gayle shared her latest amazing paintings.  She is taking an online class and enjoying the process!

Gayle painted this piece from a photograph she took at the beach.  Well done Gayle!

Candy shared her birthday gift from Jean.  Adorable embroidered towels for her grandkids. 

Here's Candy showing the lovely unicorn towel for her grand-daughter.

Candy made this autumn table runner using the pattern from Maggie. 

Candy also showed a fabric bag for storing all those plastic grocery bags. 

We saved the best for last....a double show and tell.  Ella made this spectacular quilt.   It's a quilt made from blocks from the 2004 Kansas Shop Hop. It's quilted by Joanna.

Deborah will be making a tumbling blocks quilt for her nephew who is graduating from college.  She will send out a request to see if anyone has the pattern. 

Until next time, happy quilting!
