Tacoma - February 19

Snow...Snow...Snow....go away....that is our theme song lately! Tacoma quilters sit on the edge wondering do we have our meeting or not today. Overnight storm and slow clean up but, 20+ gals braved the roads to come. Barb, our president, shared  'HAPPY ENDINGS' with much discussion on...How many borders? What kind? What width? What type of binding? Squaring up a quilt? Lace...piping...flange? A lot of basics but also going beyond and stretching our horizons...doing something different....creating 
outside of our box.
 We had a few 'BRING AND BRAG'. It is always fun to see what others have been working on.

Carol T - 'TURNING TWENTY'  A workshop we did a few months ago. She chose Christmas fabrics...it was very colorful.

Tacoma - February 12, 2014

This post is a week later due to a snow storm with our meeting being cancelled last week. Today we came excited just to get out and be together. Of course, the usual coffee and goodies greeted us. Lots of chatter about what we have been doing. Our 'Bring and Brag' had a lot of Screen Play tote bags from a workshop held recently. The pattern was by Nancy Ota.
