Tacoma Christmas Party - December 17, 2014

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield met Wednesday for our annual Christmas party. Although many of us are very busy this time of year the words that we keep hearing is, 'keep it simple'. We came laden down with gifts for a Yankee swap and carrying hot dishes, salads, baked good, appetizers etc. And for a couple of hours out of our busy lives we found a place of just being able to relax, laugh and share with others. 

Jackie won the drawing of this beautiful Christmas quilt 
made and donated by Koleen for our raffle.
