Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – August 11, 2025
The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker. There were 23 members and one guest, Libby Cornwell, present.
Tracy shared a thought of the day.
The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret. We currently have a balance of $8,724.92 which includes $6,582.00 in retreat deposits.
Please remember to buy your $10 worth of tickets as well as buy additional tickets for friends and family as this is our only fundraiser. Cheri showed the beautiful black and white quilt that we are giving away this year.
Cheri reminded everyone that the completed charity quilts need to be turned in at the September meeting if you are attending retreat and don't currently hold an office or serve on a committee. Carolyn reported that there are 25 ladies going to retreat, and she has had 2 cancellations.
Priscilla shared the names of members that have August birthdays. Happy Birthday, ladies.
Deb Behringer showed samples of how you can use hankies in a wall- hanging or quilt. She has hankies, lace, and other notions that were donated and can be used if you don't have your own. They can be machine appliqued onto the background, but hand stitching is better. Please bring your background fabric, hand sewing kit, scissors, and a small ruler to the September meeting. Also bring a sack lunch.
Upcoming meetings:
October – Nani from First Stitches will bring a trunk show as well as new notions that she will demonstrate. She will also have items to sell. Quillows for the Walsenburg youth center are due.
November – TBA
December – Annual Christmas party. Julie Racine asked that everyone make a mug rug in Christmas fabrics to be used for an exchange. Also, bring 1 wrapped gift, value of $20.00. Julie handed out instructions for making a mug rug. The finished size should be 5 X 7 inches or 5 ½ inchessquare. The meat will be provided by the guild. She will have a sign-up sheet for side dishes at a later date.
Bring and brag was held before the mystery quilt class.
Darlene Ealey knows of someone who has five feather weight machines for sale. She also brought some quilt tops and blocks from the 1920's for sale. Please contact Darlene for more information.
