Candy shared this cute comic from a friend. Hope you can view on a laptop or regular computer.  Zoom in to read the text. 

Candy added this awesome border to her Diamonds quilt.  She found the fabric at Cary Quilt Company. 

DeeDee created some potholders and an additional table runner from Barry’s quilt projects. 

DeeDee also reported that she found some cotton fabric at the Good Samaritan Thrift store in Burlington. This thrift shop has a good craft and fabric section. 

Could this be a preliminary design for an abstract art quilt?  🤪 It’s the remains of the pump in DeeDee’s backyard fountain. DeeDee thinks some raccoons messed it up.

8/15/2024 CCLQ @ Gayle's

 

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  

Gayle hosted with some goodies and some wonderful fabric give-away. Deedee joined in the fun with some of her purged fabric.

Deedee bought another Moses (aka Noah) panel for Linda.

Candy has Paddington wall hanging all done.  The next time we see him will be at her home on Paddington Place.  Candy is on a roll making Turkey mini quilts that she plans to give on her travels this season.

 

 

Linda is happy to have her declutter/organization of her sewing room done.  

Gayle was gifted a mini-quilt / pillow cover from Joy.  She is currently working on blocks for a new quilt after having made another bag and tote.  The large tote features her hand dyed and jelly printed fabric.  Her really big show was a PJ set she has made from knit fabric.  This is a new adventure for Gayle given that garment making comes with it's own set of techniques.

 

Joy has a good variety of oranges for this months Rainbow Color.

Maggie made a mini quilt for the Quilt Show Silent Auction.

Carol is keeing the Noah theme going with this adorable baby top.  She also showed off a donation quilt she is binding for the Tuesday group.  It is a new pattern using charms for the quilters ... no telling who will make the next one.

Deedee showed us her latest purchase of some baby themed neutral Numbers and Animals fabrics.  Followed by a wheelchair donation top made in the Potatoe Chip pattern.
