Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – November 10, 2025
The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker.
Mary Lou Tyus reported that the Quilt Give Away account has a current balance of $1,123.66 plus $40.00 cash and $206.00 due from the Treasury. That gives us a total of $1369.66.
The Treasurer's report was given by Margaret. We have a current balance of $10,030.42 which includes $8,128.00 in Retreat deposits. We have spent $500.00 this year for quilting. Carolyn still has not received a final bill from the Retreat Center as Teri is no longer in charge. She will continue to contact them to get this resolved.
After some discussion, a motion was made by Carolyn Baker and seconded by Deb Behringer to change the address on the Quilt Give Away account:
From: 2385 Brushville Lane, Pueblo, CO 81006
To: P. O. 19733, 4909 Ft. Crockett, Colorado City, CO 81019
Motion carried.
Priscilla shared the November birthdays. Happy Birthday, ladies.
Our December meeting will be our annual Christmas party. We will also be drawing for this year's quilt. Julie Racine asked that everyone bring one $20 wrapped gift and one mug rug either 5 X 7 or 5 ½ inch square in Christmas colors. Any design you want to make. Cheri is making the meat dish and everyone should bring a side dish to share. No larger than enough to feed 8 so we don't have too many leftovers.
Vicki reported that she currently has 6 charity quilts. Also, as a group, Scrappy Ladies has made 23 so far this year. She was notified that the Walsenburg Youth Group has only 20 kids this year, and she's already received 15 quillows.
Cheri mentioned that we will be voting for 2026 officers at the December meeting. If anyone is interested in holding an office, please let her know.If you have any ideas for programs or want to teach something, please let Cheri know.
Several suggestions were shared.
Sandi McGoff suggested that the ladies with long-arm machines get together and do a program on what they need and why, to quilt our quilts more easily.
Deb Behringer mentioned quilt as you go. Alice from Pride City Quilt Guild was suggested as a possible teacher.
April 25, 2026, will be a Scrappy Ladies garage sale in the parking lot at the Colorado City Library. The hours will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Darlene Ealey is coordinating this and has 3 pop-up tents and several tables. This will be a fund raiser for our guild, so everyone needs to be gathering their items to be sold. Darlene is working on an alternative date in case of bad weather. Watch for more details.
Show and Tell was held.
Meeting was adjourned to work on quillows or mug rugs.
