Tacoma - September 23, 2015

Tacoma Lake Quilters of Litchfield met today....few challenges....the place we have met had some structural problems....so we met at American Legion, Litchfield. Of course when you enter a new place ....hmmm....You know how it is ladies!! We discussed a new place to meet and also the upcoming AUCTION. Ann W. had a demo on 'Split Ohio Star.' Our 'show and tell' was sparse today. We are enjoying the beautiful Maine weather of the first day of Fall Season and with anticipation looking forward to the 'snow' but grabbing hold of all the nice weather we are having.

PLEASE SEE NOTICE AT TOP

Tacoma - September 2, 2015

Tacoma Lake Quilters of Litchfield held their first meeting of 2015-16. A New Year...A New Slate of officers....A new Agenda....New members.. We have a packed schedule of projects that lends itself to all level of quilters this calendar year. We welcome new members...if you have mornings free on Wednesday ...come and join us...we love to have you and you will be inspired.

Each month there are a group of ladies who set up...bring goodies...and clean up. This was our first spread. I happened to catch Helen....always a variety and delicious.

This was a workshop at the Maine Quilt Show. Kathy B. used a picture and transfer to create.

Another class by Kathy B using several different stitches.

Margo took a class with Freida Anderson - 'Field of Poppies;

using hand dyed fabrics.

Margo 'Music in the Air' using poppers and the binding was pieced using all the music fabrics in the quilt.

Made for a brother-in-law who plays guitar.

Anne T - re-purposed vest purchased from a thrift store and embellished with vintage embroidered pieces, etc.

Front of vest.

for 4th of July/Memorial Day

Donna W - 'Lone star Quilt' using summer colors.

Donna W - 'A Little bit Modern'

from Quilt magazine

Kat - Raffle Quilt to be hung in the Litchfield Fair this month.

When she makes these she experiments with different techniques. She used scraps ....quilt-as-you-go technique in quarters....flannel on the back for the 1st time and binding was made from leftovers and attached by machine with a decorative stitch. Also focus scenes in the squares.

Her own design! Had to be seen up close to be really appreciated.
