The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret Arnot. We have a current balance of $ 3,819.57 which includes $ 917.00 in Retreat deposits and

Priscilla Palacio shared that the only member with a birthday this month is Vachon Bouchard. Happy Birthday!
Our March program on borders has been postponed as Mary Filer had a family emergency.
Vicki Shafer reported that La Veta school still hasn't raffled the quilts that we made for them. They paid for quilting them and will share part of the proceeds once they've been raffled off.
Our April program will be given by Cheri Walker on How to Make a Jelly Roll Apron. Patterns were given to those that ordered and paid for them.
April 25, 2026, there will be a garage sale, to boost our treasury, in the parking lot at Ace Hardware. Be sure to price your items before bringing them. Don't price anything below $0.25 so we don't have to have a lot of small change. Hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. If you can help with set up, please come early. A sign-up sheet was passed around for both the sale and the quilt giveaway.
May is our annual Tea. Cheri Walker and Carolyn Baker will be doing a Traditional Tea. Cost is $10 each that will pay for the food and prizes. Priscilla Palacio and Julie Racine will have games. Reservations and fees were taken today.
Our June program will be given by Robyn Whetsel on how to make a Bargello Table Runner. She will bring fabric requirements in April.
July will be a picnic in Rye Park with a July 4th theme. More details will be shared as we get closer to Summer.
Our August program will be given by the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum on Sun Bonnet Sue quilts.
Our September program will be on How to Make a Collage Quilt/Wall hanging.
Our October program will be given by Kris Sparks on how to make a Tree Skirt. You will need a 22.5-degree wedge ruler. If you don't have one, you can share with someone, or the guild can purchase them for about $30. We will have a sign-up sheet as we get closer to the fall.
Our November program will be given by Cheri Walker and Deb Behringer on different binding techniques.
Our December meeting will be our Christmas Party.
