Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – December 8, 2025
The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker.
Tracy Dempsey shared a thought of the day.
The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret Arnot. We have a current balance of $9,824.42. Deb Behringer has the books to complete the annual audit.
Carolyn Baker is still working with the Retreat Center to settle the bill from our Retreat.
Mary Lou Tyus reported that the Quilt account has a balance of $1,123.66. Due to the bank not wanting to mail each monthly statement separately, it was decided to move the Quilt account to ENT Credit Union. Carolyn Baker made a motion to move the account with a second by Vachon Bouchard. Motion carried.
A motion was made by Sandi McGoff with a second by Rosemary Holland to change from a quilt "raffle" to a quilt "give away". Motion carried.
Reminder that each member of the guild is required to purchase $10 for 2 quilt tickets. Mary Lou still needs a couple of people that are willing to set up or take down at the different locations when we sell tickets. Sandi McGoff volunteered to help.
Cheri asked that everyone think about places that we can sell our quilt give away tickets. The grocery store and Ace Hardware were two suggestions.
Deb Behringer spoke to Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum regarding a future program. We have to join the museum which costs $180. Carolyn Baker made a motion to join the museum. Second by Shirley Schwab. Motion carried. Their Sun Bonnet Sue International program was chosen by a majority vote.
Our January meeting will be given by our long-arm quilters. They will share what they need from us and why. Also, they will share some of the problems that they have encountered while quilting our masterpieces. One program suggestion was how to do a collage quilt. Our guest today, Melissa Kibby from Texas, volunteered. This program will be in September 2026 when she is back in town.
Our garage sale has been moved to the parking lot at Ace Hardware on April 25, 2026. This will be a fund raiser for the guild. Please price your own items. Set up will begin at 7:30 a.m. with the sale running from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Things that don't sell will be given to VFC. If you want your items back that don't sell, please be there by 3 p.m. to collect them. Sandi volunteered to do our on-line advertising. Darlene Ealey has tables that can be used. Please start gathering your items. Watch for further information as we get closer to April.
All board members agreed to serve another year. Motion to accept the current slate of board members was made by Carolyn Baker. Second by Shirley Schwab. Motion carried.
Priscilla shared the December birthdays. Happy Birthday, ladies.
Your membership dues of $20 are due at the January meeting or can be paid today to Nancy Shaw.
The 2025 Give-Away Quilt was won by Nola Dieringer. We will start selling tickets for the 2026 Give-Away Quilt in January.
Show and Tell was held.
Meeting was adjourned for our Christmas party.
