Tacoma Quilt Meeting

Tacoma had their first meeting of the year and I wanted to share the wonderful 'show and tell'. There were about 15+ on this sunshiny winter day. It was in the 30's.

This is Autumn Opulence quilt top taken from Fabric Trends Winter 2010.

Koleen's Block of the Month. It was wonderful and a favorite.

She owns and runs 'The quilter's oasis'. She does specialized quilting and so much more.

Check out her website.

L to R Kayleen, Sandy, Barb, our president. Kayleen demonstration the 'Cut it Out Sisters Bag" shown are the 3 sizes. small, medium and large. There were others gals making them and were in different stages
Donna with her cut table top.

This is the challenge we as a chapter are doing to show in the Maine Quilts in July.

Arriving at the meeting this morning and walking very gingerly on the ice underneath them. 'The Gals in Red' Sue B, Pam, Sherry.

Kayleen and a great little quilt using pieces.

Kolleen with a unbelievable piece of work. This was going to thrown out and was in pieces and she made it a work of art with a lot of handwork. Stunning!!

Kolleen with her challenge all done. It will be in the Maine Quilt show in July.

We started last July making a 'block of the month'. This month was a 'winter theme'. I really wanted these and guess what 'I won"!!! I made the blue snowflake and a friend, Donna unknowingly did the same one in a different color. These will be treasured by me...they are all signed by very dear friends. I will make a wall hanging I can put along my stairway. Now the challenge of decision as to 'how'!!

This is just a taste of all these talented gals. We have a wonderful time when we get together. After the meeting those who can go to lunch at a local restaurant. We don't just quilt together but spend quality time with each other.
