 DONNA made this mini quilt in 1970

'CROSSED CANOES'

She said this was her very favorite.

 KOLEEN - beautiful 'Dresden plates'. Another of her UFO's. These were made by the grandmother with the intention of finishing for her and her sister. It never got done so she decided to finish and to give them to the next generation in

memory of her, her mother and grandmother. 

A wonderful treasure to be passed on.

KOLEEN - 'Sisters Choice' - hand pieced blocks. 

Designer Evelyn Sloppey

 SUE R - PS I love you

Tacoma January 8, 2014

The sun was shining and even though it was a little icy underfoot the Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield were excited to finally get together after many of us had lost powers some up to 10 days.

Coffee always greets us along with goodies and a lot of catching up with little groups of ladies here and there. The first meeting of the month is always our business meeting. We are looking forward to many different projects for 2014.

This next meeting January 15 will be a workshop,

Barb made these to match aprons/pot holders that she 

made for Christmas of the same fabric.

This was her favorite for her chef grandson. 

 Jan, a new member, shared this UFO that 

she is determined to finish.

She was not sure what she was going to 

do with it. Some suggested it would make a cute purse.
