Tacoma Meeting - May 6

This is the morning after our Area 4 meeting and our regular business meeting for the month. Excitement in the air....women armed with 'Go cutters'...fabric....goodies including some from last night...what wonderful relationships that have been built and it always so refreshing for us to get-together whatever we are doing for the day. We are having 'strippers for a day' the next meeting so some of us brought our fabrics to get them cut exactly 2 1/2" to share. I will explain more next time. Our block of the month is very popular. If you make the required block your name goes into the pot and the lucky winner was Judy R. Next month our blocks will be yellow and blue. And of course, 'Show 'n Tell' is always popular.

The 'block of the month' was a basket ....your choice of design and color.

15 block were turned in and 15 names put into the drawing. 

The lucky winner was Judy R. to her delight!
