Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – September 8, 2025
The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker. There were 29 ladies
present.
Tracy shared a thought of the day.
Cheri reported that the Raffle account has a current balance of $2,103.00 and there is $206.00 in the Treasury that belongs to the Raffle account.
The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret. We have a current balance of $9,049.42 which includes $7055.00 in Retreat deposits. We have a balance of $1,729.28 left in the 2025 budget.
We didn't have a report on Charity quilts as Vicki has been sick.
We have 2 members with September birthdays. Happy birthday, ladies.
Reminder that Retreat is September 23-26, 2025. We will NOT have breakfast on Friday. There are 26 ladies currently attending. Please bring cash for a tip for the kitchen staff and give it to Carolyn. Twenty dollars was a suggested amount.
For our October meeting, Nani from First Stitches in Canon City will bring a trunk show as well as new notions to demo. She will also have things for sale, so bring your money.
Our November meeting will be a sew day to make the quillows for our donation to the Walsenburg youth group. So if you haven't already made yours, this is an opportunity to do so in time for Christmas. We will need at least 40 so if you can, please make more than one.
Cheri reported on the officers meeting that was held a couple of weeks ago. We will be going to a soft quilt giveaway which means that we will give tickets for a donation rather than a set fee. Cheri found out that if we call it a soft quilt giveaway instead of a raffle, we are not required to have a license through the state of Colorado. She asked for a volunteer to make a sign listing all the places that we donate quilts to that can be displayed each time we set up to sell tickets. Sign should be about ½ of a poster board.It was also decided that we make mug rugs that can be given to anyone that donates to our quilt giveaway. They can be any size or color. Diane Birner will try to come up with another idea that can be made, too.
Our April 2026 meeting will be a garage sale with proceeds going to our Treasury. Darlene Ealey volunteered to be on the committee to oversee the garage sale. We will need a couple more ladies to help her.
We will be charging a fee for those wanting to take classes any time we have an outside speaker as their fees are so high.
If you have any ideas for meetings or classes, please let Cheri know.
Deb Behringer shared a short history of hankies before she started our class.
Show and Tell was held.
