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.

THE FOLLOWING INCLUDES
-SHOW 'N TELL
- NCIU donated quilts to hospital critical unit for newborns.
