Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – February 9, 2026

The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker with 22 members present.

Tracy Dempsey shared a thought of the day.

The Treasurer's report was given by Nancy Shaw in Margaret's absence. We have a current balance of $ 10,758.79. Please note that the bank statement for January has not yet been received.

Instead of changing banks for the giveaway account, Margaret has agreed to oversee it. A motion was made by Carolyn Baker to take Cheri Walker off this account and add Margaret Arnot seconded by Shirley Schwab. Motion carried.

Mary Lou reported that there is approximately $1,500.00 in the quilt giveaway account. We are scheduled to sell tickets for the quilt giveaway on Saturday, February 28, 2026, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Valley Market since we had to cancel our previous date of January 24th due to bad weather. Mary Lou passed a sign-up sheet around for those that can help.

Our March program will be given by Mary Filer on different quilt borders.

Our April program will be given by Cheri Walker on How to Make a Jelly Roll Apron. She will order several patterns if you want your own, but you are more than welcome to share with someone.

April 25, 2026, there will be a garage sale, to boost our treasury, in the parking lot at Ace Hardware. Darlene Ealey asked that items be priced in 25 cent increments so that she doesn't have to have a lot of change. Please bring your items, already priced, the day of the sale at 7:30 a.m. to set up. Darlene will have sign-up sheets next month for both helping at the sale and quilt give-away. She will also make signs. Mary Lou said that she had a prior commitment so won't be able to handle the quilt giveaway. Sandi McGoff volunteered to handle that for her.

July will be a picnic with a July 4th theme. More details will be shared as we get closer to Summer.

October program will be given by Kris Sparks. She will have more information at the next meeting.
