Scrappy Ladies Quilt Guild Minutes – October 13, 2025

The meeting was called to order by Cheri Walker. There were 29 members and 1 guest present. Welcome to Cheryl.

Tracy shared a thought of the day.

Mary Lou Tyus reported that the Quilt Give Away account has a current balance of $1,633.66. Cheri said that there is $206.00 in the Treasury that belongs to this account as well.

The Treasurer's report was given by Nancy Shaw in Margaret's absence. We have a current balance of $9,718.42 which includes $7766.00 in Retreat deposits. We have a balance of $1,679.00 left in the 2025 budget.

Cheri reported that Vicki has about 20 charity quilts. Sandy Fundom reported that she and Vicki took 5 quilts to the Spanish Peaks Veterans Center.

Carolyn Baker reported that she is waiting for the final bill from the Retreat Center due to their personnel change. She still has $450 that was collected as a tip for the kitchen staff as she was told that they couldn't accept it. She will use that money to cover any cost increase for our retreat. Carolyn was informed that we can expect approximately a 5% increase in cost from year to year. Dates for 2026 & 2027 have been reserved, and we will be there Monday – Wednesday, leaving Thursday morning. Also, we will be on the bottom floor instead of upstairs.

Our November meeting will be a sew day to make the quillows for our donation to the Walsenburg youth group. 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. If you have made your quillow, you can stay and work on the mug rugs we want to have at our quilt giveaway table when we sell tickets.

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. Also, she passed arounda sign-up sheet for side dishes. You should make enough to feed no more than 8 people.

Priscilla reported that we have 3 members with October birthdays. Happy Birthday, ladies.

Show and Tell was held.

Deb Behringer introduced our speaker, Nani, from First Stitches in Canon City. She shared her personal quilting history and showed quite a few of her beautiful quilts. She also had merchandise to sell.

Show & Tell - October 2025

Program - October 2025

Nani Kai shared a Trunk Show of some of her quilts with us.  She shared with us that she seldom follows all the directions in a quilt pattern, choosing to put her own "touch" on a quilt, and urging us to not be afraid to ad lib!

Nani, who formerly had her own shop - NaLa's Quilt Shoppe - in Fountain, now works at First Stitches in Canon City.
