Visitors are invited to attend.
Habitat quilt: They are behind schedule so that gives us some breathing room.
T-Shirts: Sam Jacobs said they could do long sleeve shirts for ~$12 , or short sleeve for ~$9. Larger sizes add a dollar.
Mary Ann suggested that we make an absentee block box to drop off blocks. Mary Ann suggested that we bring blocks that are done as make up blocks and leave in cabinet. Passed.
Watana is suggesting we do a mystery quilt instead of a challenge block for the coming year. Donna proposed we take her suggestion. Seconded by Mary Anne. Voted and passed. Please bring your accomplishments each month to the meetings.
Committee reports:
