Old Business
Crayon Challenge - Those who had not drawn colors for the challenge were able to do so. As a reminder, we will make a four block wall hanging. Blocks should be at least 6 inches but no larger than 12 inches and the crayon colors drawn should be the focal colors. The projects will be revealed at the February 2022 meeting and we will take a vote for viewer's choice. The winner will receive a prize!
Quilt of Valor - Discussion was held as to whether or not we would like to join or form a QofV group. It was decided by majority that we will not join or form a group at this time but rather we will make a quilt top to donate as a guild in the future.
Christmas Party- Our annual Christmas party/December meeting will be held at Flint Hill United Methodist Church on Saturday, December 4, 2021. A separate email was sent to out to the group on November 23rd with all the details of the party.

New Business
Library Christmas Tree - The annual Festival of Trees is being held at the library during the month of December and PTQ was asked to decorate a tree again this year. Gwen S. headed up the tree decorating. Open house will be Thursday, December 9, 2021.
Donation to American Cancer Society - A motion was made by Terry T. for the guild to make a donation to the ACS in memory of guild member Glenna P. A second was made by Tonya S. The donation will be the same as the guild has made in the past for others.
Programs at the RAC - Discussion was held about the RAC wanting to implement new programs for children and would be interested in having PTQ possibly teach a sewing class. Suggestions were made ranging from sewing on buttons and hemming pants to making a pencil case or sleep shorts. Discussion was tabled until our next meeting to give members time to come up with ideas of what children may enjoy learning to sew.
Nominating Committee - The nominating committee, Julia G. & Marilyn H., submitted the slate of officers for 2022. They were voted on and approved as presented by the committee. 2022 officers will be: President - Ina J.; Vice-President - Gwen S.; Secretary - Molly C.; Treasurer - Karen C.
