Tacoma Lakes Quilters September 4, 2019 Business

We held our first business meeting of 2019-2020 with 38 members present.  We had 3 new members join us. It was great to see everyone and I heard so many say, "it was a busy summer" ...camp time, family time, canning time.. trips etc. You can now feel 'Fall' in the air and it will soon be those days that 'home' calls us because of the winter storms and we can hibernate and quilt to our hearts content. BUT!!! we have a few more weeks.
Our first Workshop with Betty Lam making 'the Plaid-ish quilt' 64x82.  You can see a picture of it below. We are gathering our material...she says, "you do not have to think about it. Just pick lights ...darks and medium fabrics that are distinct." Sound easy?..I am smiling...Yes, for some but not all.
We have lots of projects planned for the new year and will be sharing them from month to month. 
We will be taking a bus trip within the State, the Down East area as we call it to several small shops and also stopping for lunch in Bar Harbor at Geddy's. Excitement in the air. Trips are always fun!
