 Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.

Cheryl is binding a donation quilt for Ukraine.

Ruth S. is binding a donation quilt with the cutest kitty cat fabric both front and back.  The Brightly pattern is going to get a lot of Ruth's scraps this summer at the Bluff.  Can't wait to see it when she returns.

Candy finished the baby quilt that is sporting a wonderful circle fussy cut applique.  The borders were done as strip sets then added to the sides and top/bottom.  A lot of good ideas were flowing for how Candy can use her two panels to cover sleeping/play mats for the grand kids.  Also in her bag of goodies was her very favorite Jelly Belly umbrella.   The table toppers made pre-pandemic are going to be used (Yeah!).

Maggie decided to use one of the 2015 Row by Row "block" as the top of a charm child quilt.  Shared a picture of the 2 quilt tops that were put together the previous day with Shelia and Floretta.

Ruth B. has a new option for borders on the lovely bunny baby quilt.  She shared another in-process blue baby slices top.  As well as donating a cute baby elephant quilt for the Ukraine.

Linda shared her recent purchases of purples and white background butterfly for the future top of interlocking frames.

Ella finished piecing this lovely quilt that her grandson has claimed.

DeeDee has another donation baby top ready.

Deborah shared some cute little critters that her grandson made and left for them to remember him by.

That's all for now!
 

4/7/2022 CCLQ at Ruth's

 Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.

Ruth showed her super fast completed Heron.

Ruth B. show a new baby quilt and told about her latest Dentist Adventure (sorry I missed the pearly whites in a smile).

Candy showed the start of a baby quilt but had to point out the one block that isn't following the pattern and she spent the meeting reverse sewing the seams.

Linda received some extra strips from Ruth B to go with her Virginia quilt.

DeeDee shared some wonderful magazines/catalogs.

Maggie showed a 4-patch recut with the starting squares at 6" as per Nina of the Tuesday group. As well as the DOQG block for the April meeting.

Carol has been supper busy with a variety of quilt tops.

Ella showed the start of a quilt that everyone agreed didn't have to have an outer border.

Bonus story from Dee Dee about the previous Tuesday morning half square triangle layout.  She had this photo on her phone and wanted to do the same on her design wall.  The Question is How Many Quilters does it take to arrange the 160 half square triangles?   the answer is ALL that are in the room at the time.  Ha Ha!

 

The pattern was discovered on the internet and was ordered by Dee Dee to help finish this up and be ready for any future desire to do this again.   Pattern is Solar Flare by Villa Rosa Designs.  The blue lines outline how the layout is split into 8 units where the triangles join either vertically or horizontally.  A real mind bender when you are working from a small photo on a phone.

Welcome to the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters weekly meeting.

A good portion of show-n-tell was dedicated to our Pineapple Sale Purchases.

Ruth B got some great coordinating fabrics to work with.

Cheryl showed us a Lime Twist and a neutral baby quilt of sea turtles.  Along with her blues for a new Hunter Star king size quilt as well as her coordinating fabrics.

Candy showed us in person her completed batik cuddle quilt that will take up residence on her couch.

Ruth S. got a few panels and showed the cutest kitty donation quilt in the "Bonnie" design.  Even the back had more cats.

DeeDee didn't make it to Pineapple but instead had an impressive haul from her trip to South Carolina.  She also showed a completed route 66 quilt.

Deborah's Pineapple find were some batiks to match fabrics she already used in a quilt.  Now she can accessorized her bed with matching pillows.

Maggie showed her March UFO finish of a Cone Flower that was from a Symposium Class years back. It was made with hand dyes that were made even more years back.  She also showed what can be done with foamish batting (Bosal or Soft-n-Stable) in the form on a caddy and a table wreath.

Linda got the Pineapple Award for our latest trip and received the new stylish eyewear.  She's inspired to complete the blue and yellow top that was started at the Bluff a few years back.  And had plans already for her purchases.

Gayle showed her completed Lori Holt quilt that is just lovely.  She is planning the next baby quilt of bubbly fish.

Until next week ...
