Tacoma Meeting - March 19

Sewing machines....fabric....cutting boards....irons....and of course food graced our meeting get-together today. Tacoma Lake Quilters of Litchfield met for a Charity Sew-in. Some brought their fabric to share while others had their own with a design in mind. It was a great day and much was accomplished. The quilts were made for Project Linus. These are children's quilts that are available to police, firemen etc. in times of need. There is nothing like the warmth of a quilt made with love wrapped around you. Shown below are some  finished quilts made at home and will go to Linus.
