Tacoma - November 2, 2016

Tacoma Lakes Quilting group met today for their business meeting. We held our quilt show last week and talked about areas to improve. Also held our drawing for the fat quarter club. We had three happy winners of the mini raffle drawing.

We have been making charity quilts for Portland Mid Maine Medical babies NICU unit. We have donated 36 so far. They go on top of the incubator while they are there and used to keep them warm when placed on the moms and dads. They then go home with them to cherish forever and possibly pass on to other generations.

The following is this week's Show 'n Tell.

Koleen - Lego quilt, lap size, from Rayna's stash

(Rayna was a former member who donated fabric to our chapter, and Koleen has been utilizing every scrap for different projects)

Example of above quilt...All the states

Examples of Blocks below

Being very honest this was quite a job uploading all these as I had to pick and choose through 150+ photos...some are missing but we are working on it..or you may see some twice. It was a great show with a 100% participation of our members and as our Coordinator Barb said "it went off without a hitch". It is a lot of hard work but very rewarding especially all the comments from attendees. This happens every two years...so until then.
(but do look for changes to this entry within a day or two) Thank you for your patience.
