TACOMA - 12-20-17 CHRISTMAS PARTY

Today was our annual Christmas party. Lots of food....lots of presents....lots of games....lots of laughter...gift baskets and Christmas fat quarters to the winners of several drawings.....also cute decorated hair finery!!! IT WAS A GREAT DAY AND ENJOYED BY ALL. 

 We also brought warm clothes and anything that can used by the homeless. They were contributed to the warming center in Augusta.

I am posting pictures and trusting I did not forget anyone.. some are just candid shots.  Most of them came out good except for Jona....our coffee gal....'I think I told her to smile' she was not in any other pic so I used it....Love you Jona. You can check back in some of the other blogs to see her smiling face. 

HERE WE GO.

Tacoma December 6, 2017

Tacoma Lakes Quilters of Litchfield met for their business meeting. A time where we catch up with one another and at 9:30 we have our business meeting. We decided that we would do Show 'n Tell within the first 1/2 hour as sometimes people have to leave and they do not get to see the beautiful handwork. And then we continue with business ...then a break and we do couple of demos that take about 15 mins each. It has worked very well.
