Tacoma March 4,2020

Tacoma Lakes Quilters met for our regular business meeting. Due to snow last meeting it seemed like a long time since we were together. We are a busy chapter. We donated $300 for Bikes for Books to the Morning Star Lodge in Litchfield. The school children will benefit from these are the end of the school year.

We also donated 17 Charity Quilts to Maine General Medical Center for Alfond Center 'Day of Hope" to be held Oct. 3  to benefit their cancer patients.
Pattern - Yankee Puzzle Quilt...many worked to make this happen...shopping for material, cutting, sewing and quilting. Lots of hands make for easy work.
