Tacoma Meeting

We had our Tacoma meeting today and showcased the big pin cushions we began last meeting. They are varied designs. We all agreed they were pretty cute!! Some were stuffed with rice while others with poly-fil. The one on the bottom left had pins stuck in it. It belonged to Rayna and her cat kept taking the pins out so she had to hide it in a plastic case to project the hen and the cat.

This is the whole group holding their creation.
This is Pres. Barb and we call her the gadget queen. She is also very talented with embroidery and did the stitching on her apron. We all brought gadgets we 'could not live without'. They were many and varied.We make a block each month that has a theme. Those who make them put their name in for a drawing and someone gets to take them all. This month it was a spring theme. This one is what I decided to do. It is hand appliqued. The design is Pat Sloan called 'Prancing Posies'. It was pictured as a runner in McCalls April 2005 magazine.These are the other blocks and the winner is Pauline (pictured). It was pretty amazing the blocks were mostly yellow/lavender/purple. You can click on the pic and I think you can see them better. I should have made it larger but you get the idea.

It has been fun to come up with something each month. Next month the theme is Easter.

We have some very talented ladies....wouldn't you agree.
