TACOMA MEETING - February 18, 2015

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield met today. It has been a very snowy season and looked like we might have to cancel but Mr. Snow decided to wait which was to our delight. We love getting together and catching up on the current news whether quilting, knitting or personal sharing. A cup of coffee and  goodie and you will find little groups here and there before the meeting 

and many working on knitting or handwork. 

We have a raffle twice a month and this month a basket of canned goods..... happily won by Donna. 

We had a short business meeting with a couple of demo's

Barb D our 'gadget queen' as we call her because she always has the latest thing going.
