January 2,2013 Meeting

Can you believe that we are into 2013.....where did last year go??

Tacoma quilters have done so many projects and what a fun year we have had.

We anticipate the New Year with exciting projects planned. It is always wonderful to come at 9:00 am and just chit chat and play catch up with one another. The first meeting of the month is a business meeting followed by show 'n tell. This time it is smaller and my guess is that most of the things that were made were given as gifts. 

Margo finished her 12th wall hanging in a series of 12 for the year. Sleigh with reindeer done in buttonhole stitch and machine quilted.

 This is Janet's scrappy quilt named "Janet meets Margo"...a few of the blocks were purchased at the auction made by Margo and she added many more to make it a delightful quilt.

 Bea's very pretty pillow/cushion she made for a gift.

 Pauline made this 'little duffel bag' at last month's workshop. There were 3 sizes.

 Jona's husband made this wonderful wooden rule holder for  her and offered to make others to sell if anyone wanted one. 

 Barb designed this 'messenger bag'. It will hold a laptop. 

It is very sturdy and we all agreed was wonderful.

 Another view...she was moving so it is hazy. but this is the inside.

 This is Sue B's 'American the Beautiful' This was a challenge for six of us. We gave ourselves a year to finish using only our stash.

The first segment was in McCall's January issue 2012 with a new part monthly for the remaining 5 months.

We plan to put them  in the Maine Quilt show in July and also to submit them to the magazine. We tried to take a picture of all of them together but they are so large that the pics did not come out very well. So I am going to put them on here separately from the pictures that I got as each one was finished. So enjoy!!!
