April 4 Minutes

Meeting was called to order.

Motion and second by Judy and Marilyn to accept the minutes as posted on the blog.

Carol and Judy motioned and seconded to accept the treasurers report as presented with a delay on updates until the next meeting due to this meeting being moved earlier than statement could arrive.

Artisan Day coming up next weekend (April 11, 2026). We will begin setting up around 8ish.

We drew crayons for a 3 color - 3 yard quilt challenge. If you want to participate you will have the opportunity to grab three colors from a bag to use as your quilt colors at the next meeting. If you can't wait and want to get going on your quilt now, here is a online color generator tool:
