Old Business

New Business
PTQ Brochures - Brochures used for local businesses to promote PTQ, were updated with the new logo. A motion was made by Molly C. and seconded by Gwen S. to have the new brochures printed at a cost of $34.50 for 100 rather than have a guild member print them at home. A unanimous vote confirmed the order for printing the updated brochures.

Program
It was Christmas in July for our program. Gwen brought several ornament ideas and kits for PTQ members who wanted to help update ornaments for our annual Library Christmas Tree. She also had sample blocks of Christmas Houses for our Friendship Quilt to be shared/swapped at our December meeting/social.
Included in our Christmas in July meeting, was a Christmas fabric swap so everyone participating in the Friendship Quilt would have plenty of variety in their Christmas house blocks.
