June 15 Meeting

Today was our last regular meeting for Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield until September. It was an exciting time as we shared all the ideas for the coming year. It has been a wonderful year as we have been led by our President, Barb; Vice-President Sherry; Secretary, Pauline; Treasurer, Rayna.

Below are quilts made by Chris, who is not part of our group but a friend to many of us. She finished these stack 'n whack blocks that were given to her. She finished and donated them to charity. We all agreed they were so beautiful. Great job Chris as always!! The person who receives them will feel very special.

This is how we finish off the morning after our meeting twice a month...those who want to have lunch at the local 197 diner. This is just part of the group for today. A great way to get to know one another...lots of conversation and laughs!!



The next thing on our agenda is a summer picnic and we start up our chapter meetings in September. Of course we have the Maine Quilts 34th Annual Show July 29 - 31. Our raffle quilt shown in the header above will be on display. Raffle tickets are available now until Sept. 7th when we will draw the winning ticket at our first Fall meeting.
