Demi-TAS of Burien is the local chapter of The Applique Society. TAS is an International Association formed in Washington State in 1997 to promote, to teach, to encourage the love of all types of appliqué in quilting.

Demi-TAS was chartered in 2000 by a group of Burien women with a deep love of appliqué.

An annual display of yearly projects has been shown at the Burien Public Library for many years, but this year the showing was at the Yarn Stash, 615 S.W. 152 St. The "round robin" wall hangings featured hand appliqué, machine and fusible appliqué.

For the 2011 show, library patrons will once again enjoy the brilliant colors, designs, and many faces of appliqué.

Demi-TAS chapter also has an on-going project that provides hand-made baby quilts to the Birthing Center at Highline Medical Center.

In the eight years this project has been in effect, hundreds of baby quilts have been distributed to our community.

Joining Demi-TAS in this community service is the Three Tree Quilt Guild of Burien.
