Tacoma Meeting December 5, 2018

Tacoma Lake Quilters met for our business meeting. You would have thought we were having a Christmas party as the place where we meet had been decorated for Christmas. It was beautiful and not only that we had only 2 gals signed up for goodies....everyone must have got the notice as it looked almost like the party we will have next time. Such a variety of goodies. We have a wonderful group of gals who always come up to the need. 
'Show 'n Tell', as you will see was quite large  (47 items) followed by demos that are always popular.  Kat with her expertise of - 'Quilt as you go' and Sue R - who is so precise with details - 'One Patch -  45 Degree Diamonds'. We have the building for the day so some choose to stay, and utilize the time to get in some sewing. 

Our last meeting was a workshop making Jelly roll rugs. These are all unique.
