Tacoma Quilters of Litchfield held their business meeting Wednesday. It was a week later than usual because a group of us went to Jackman for 3 days of quilting. A beautiful area as the leaves literally turned color before our eyes. The room had windows so we could view the mountains all day. What an inspiration!
A great time and a lot accomplished.
Our recent yard sale was very successful and we sold a lot so of course, we can purchase more.
We are doing a
Block of the month. Each month we choose the size, in our own color and style. The purpose is learning how to put them all together using fillers. A challenge for many but there was great participation. The block this month was 12". You will see them at the end of this posting.
Next month sizes are 5" x 8" and 3" x 5".
We also had demos on how to make "perfect 1/2" square triangles". We had 3 gals using different techniques.
And of course there is always Show'n Tell.
