The Possum Town Quilters Of Columbus, MS, USA

Jan 22, 2018

Greetings Ladies!

Happy New Year! I'm sorry I'm late, I guess you can take it out of my pay, lol. At the first meeting of the new year, we had 23 in attendance! If you missed this time, we look forward to seeing you at our next business meeting on February 10th. We had some out sick and some out because it was sooo cold! Brrrrrrrr...........(I'm ready to move further south, haha).

At our first meeting, January 13th, 2018, the previous minutes and the treasurers report were approved as posted to the blog.

Old Business:

Thanks to all of those who volunteered for a committee. I think I will probably need to post that to the blog, just not exactly sure where it should go. I will check and get it in the correct place.

We have some ladies working on the PTQ by-laws. If you know of something we need to add or something that needs to be changed, please contact Karen A. We would also like to update member information, so please fill out the questionnaire if you did not do so at the last meeting.

We will begin our Goal List in March. The Columbus Arts Council approved the Barn Quilt for the building. Rita W. will be getting that for us and Judy S. will be doing the quilt that will be placed inside the building.

The "I See Stars" challenge block is due in February.

New Business:

I have our calendars!!!!!!!!!!! I will post those to the blog. You can get a hard copy at the next meeting.

One of the charter members, Linda G. of PTQ passed away, and a donation to charity will be made in her name.

We are going to complete some charity quilts for infants at Baptist Memorial and some "Fidget Quilts"' for older patients that are in area nursing homes. We hope that you will participate and show some of the new members (me, for sure) some of your techniques.

We will be having a Fat Quarter Swap at each business meeting. Please bring red/pink for the February meeting. We will decided colors for other months at the next meeting. Bring as many as you like and if you do not wish to participate, you do not have too. (It really is fun if you can bear to part with your fabric)

Door prizes will be given at each meeting. This should make it fun for us all. We had two new members attend and guess what? They won two of the door prizes, Annis C, Kay H. and our former wonderful secretary, Gwen.

Please turn in your Mississippi Centennial Blocks to Karen A.

We will be conducting inventory of the materials in the closet. If any of them belong to you, please let us know.

Well, I may have missed something, but please forgive me if I did. I promise I will get better.

After lunch, the rent quilt was finished and I think about 8 or more stayed to help! Thanks so much.

Until next time, may God bless and keep you safe!

Kim C.

P.S. I will add additional photos tomorrow, my internet is too slow at my house. Please forgive me. So sorry for posting the pictures so late. Please let me know if any of the names are incorrect.
Looking forward to the next meeting!
