3/13/2025 CCLQ @ Passmore Hosted by DeeDee

 

Welcome to the weekly meeting of the Cherry Creek Lane Quilters.  This week DeeDee hosted at the Passmore Center.


Deborah started us off with a grand smile.  And passed along a pattern from Candy to Ella.  Can you all guess why Candy just had to get the pattern for Ella?



Ella has started to make a couple of wall hangings for her Grandsons.  They represent each one's name using Navy Semephore flags.  In the US Navy, signaling with flags, which involves using specific flag arrangements and movements to convey messages, is commonly known as "Semaphore".   She is getting the alphabet from a book Quilts for Men.

 

 

 

Carol received a bag of scraps but sadly with her machine in the shop she is doing some organization at home and getting out at the first Baseball game with her grandson.


Linda said she followed thru on the last week's goal ... oh wait we didn't talk next week goals so she went along with the big smile show.


Ruth showed her progress on the RR blocks from last year.  Next up is the border stripe.   Having the rows together is warming up her feelings about the blocks and the rest of us think it's going to be beautiful when done.


Maggie had a number of little donation quilts ready and got together the brown half squares in a new (to her) layout design.



Thanks to Lynda's charms as the outer border this b&w animal fabric is now a completed quilt.  The Tuesday Group donation fabric that was put on the back is just perfect for it.





Cheryl has been busy on her blocks from the Tula Pinks 100 block book now the question is what colors to sash them with. And what fabrics to make the alternating blocks with.



A friend has requested a Josephine's Knot quilt from Cheryl so now's the tough decision on which fabrics to use.  It will be a queen size quilt and some of the fabrics have been preselected by her friend.



DeeDee has another Lime Twist Donation quilt done.

Maggie created this wonderful quilt with fabrics from her stash. The pattern is Flagstone. 

This will be the border fabric. 

Maggie shared this wonderful quilt that she made for her families’ lake house. The house is being sold so the quilt returned to her.

Deborah made this after quilt with fabrics left over from the Storm at Sea Quilt.

DeeDee is making a NICU quilt using adorable fabric. 


Until next time, happy quilting!
