Tacoma Workshop Day October 16. 2019

Today was a Workshop day. 'MAKE AND TAKE" . Simple projects that several gals shared that were quick and easy. Ladies arrived with machines...fabric and wonderful ideas. Gals will share the next meeting and you can see how easy they were. If you would like to see some of what we did ...they are on October 2nd posting.

We always have 'Show 'n Tell" at every meeting and this was no exception. Always amazing what the gals share. Sit back and enjoy!

Tacoma October 2 2019 Business Meeting

Tacoma met for our business meeting on this beautiful October day. It is always a fun time pouring a cup of coffee..picking up a snack and catching up with each other. We are a friendly group and it does not matter who you happen to chat with you feel comfortable.

 We have lots of things planned for this year. Coming up Oct 16 is the 'make and take' meeting. Several gals have small projects and will share with instructions. There has been lots of interest to make that 'little thing' and leave with it finished or instructions as to 'how to' make. 

A fun project is our "Bucket list'. We look at a project and say, "What was I thinking" I have always wanted to make but never did ...so the challenge is to make the quilt, hanging, block etc. and completely finish by June to be entered in a drawing.

We had two demo's ...one by Brenda P demonstrating 'how to' of Yo Yo Makers and 
Donna M using the 'Twister  Tool' . 
And as always our gals have been busy and shared their 'Show 'n Tell'.
