Tacoma Meeting - September 17

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield, ME. met and an array of goodies/coffee awaited us at 9:00 a.m. with offerings for everyone and of course lots of chatter about this and that. Our business meeting was full with decisions for the new year. The upcoming Quilt show October 25th and 26th at the Carrie Ricker School.is the present excitement as we see each piece fitting together. Special aprons have been distributed to all the members to wear with logo and our name (see above in header).  Lots of discussion on various areas. It is a big job but is so amazing the many talents of the gals. They not only quilt but have expertise in so many areas which will reflect in our show. Our theme is 'Making New Friends'  - Set the dates aside and come join us.

As always we have 'Bring and Brag' or 'Show and Tell' whatever you prefer to call it.
