Tacoma - December 2, 2015

Tacoma Lakes Quilters met today ...it is a soggy, rainy day ....the sun may not have shined outside but it did in our hearts as 32 of us met for a business meeting. Always lots to discussion and decisions made. An abundance of goodies as usual and lots of conversation and laughs among the members. Following our business meeting we had a demo by Donna M on "baffling your quilts" by Wing Span Crafts. The block of the month was 12 1/2" of Christmas fabric won by Bev D. And of course our 'Show 'n Tell.'
