Tacoma - June 17, 2015

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield held their last meeting until the new year begins in September. We brought ideas and signed up for the projects we want to do this coming year.  The members will continue to meet for 'sharing threads' through the summer. There is no agenda we work on our own projects and have a nice time sharing.

Margo - "I tried making 'Take four placemats' that was a workshop. They
