Tacoma Lakes Quilters June 19.2019

Tacoma's finale today for the year 2018-2019. A lot of excitement. One of this years challenges was making a list of 10 UFO's and finishing within the year and entered into a drawing. Names drawn received a beautiful bag with special goodies.  A total of  162 finished that was pretty remarkable. Pam coordinated it and of course I forgot to get a picture of her. Pretty proud of ourselves who participated and a neater quilt room!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TODAY WE CALLED THIS A  'PIZZA PARTY'

A chapter challenge 

and ladies we love challenges, right!

Each participant made a center block and put her chosen fabrics to be used in a pizza box. Lori who coordinated this, took the boxes and gave them to the next person (total of 4) each month to add a border using their fabrics. The reveal was today. They were amazing, the thought and talent that went into them each participant explained their challenges but all agree it made them think outside of their box. I took pics of the person and the gals who worked on them and then a close up so you could see the intricacy of them. ENJOY!!!
