May 1 Meeting


Tacoma Lakes Quilters put on their walking shoes and met together on this gorgeous warm day in Maine for a business meeting plus all the other things we usually do. Today our challenges were due to be shown and oh my, beyond beautiful!!! Also finished about 60 wheel chair lap quilts by our group. It was a busy day so sit back and enjoy. This entry will be simple but amazing!!!
