Tacoma - July 15 2015

Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield held our summer picnic. It is always a great time and of course, lots of food....laughter....sharing with one another. We had in an "inedible buffet" where those participating make an identical item and those who joined got to take one home. We also brought pillow cases that will be donated to Konkerr Cancer and blocks for Quilts of Valor. It was a busy day! 

This is our EDIBLE BUFFET.

We never go hungry at Tacoma!! Awesome selections...
