Tacoma Meeting - November 5

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield met on this gorgeous Maine day of 56 degrees after our first snow storm that left 135,000 people without electricity. Our conversation centered around our very successful quilt show held last week. We had so many compliments that it was a 'first class' show and it pleased us that we could give back to our community. We worked hard and it paid off. We plan to do the next one in 2016. Plans were discussed for upcoming workshops....bus trip...plus various ideas. It is an exciting club and we have a lot of fun. Most of us are still weary from all the work for the show. We had a few Bring 'n Brag (show 'n tell). Trust you will  enjoy.......
