Meeting was called to order by Karen.
Minutes were accepted as posted by motion from Marilyn and second by Judy.
Treasurer report was read by Judy and accepted as read with motion by Shannon and second by Karen.
Library program from March 18th had a good turn out of PTQ members. Way to go PTQ!
Southern Sayings quilt top is complete, Watana is to quilt it for us upon her return.
Artisan Day will be next Saturday (12th) and Maple Street Quilters will be there with hand quilting a quilt, all are free to join them throughout the day or for the whole day.
Maple Street still does not have a location where they can leave their set up from each session, so if anyone has any recommendations of a place they can meet please contact Karen or Judy.
Kealy Shields from WCBI would like to do a sunrise interview for their program. She just found out about us this year from the quilts on display at the library. I contacted her and she would like for one to two quilters to come on the sunrise show at 8:30 and again at 9 to do a conversational type interview speaking about PTQ, what we do, projects we have worked on, and maybe different techniques we have used. If any can be available for this, it would be a great way to let people know we exist. If her times available don't conflict I may could be one, but would feel more comfortable if I had another to come with me. So reach out if you are willing.
Next year (2026) the library would like to have patriotic quilts for the 250th celebration year. If you have any and would like to share please let us know, if not maybe this could be the year we get one done.
We would like to do a QOV presentation(s) for next year as well, but need someone to head up this portion -- Judy nominated Ina.
Karen shared the PTQ QOV that the group worked on. We need to make a choice for the backing fabric for it and we decided it could be one that we present to a veteran next year.
If you haven't checked out Elayne Goodman's display at MUW be sure to go while you can. It is very extraordinary work and is in Summer Hall on MUW campus.
We are still in need of a National Teacher Procurer. Patti is to look into getting Joncie Smith possibly. Other options spoken of was Karen Arzamendi or Naomi Perry maybe coming to give a us a class.
May 10th we will have a demo by Marilyn Wilson on the Antelope Canyon quilt. She is bringing some examples for us to see. Then we have scheduled a sew day for it on May 31st, lunch will be provided that day.
Door prizes were drawn throughout the meeting and Beth, Karen, Shannon, and Lawana won.

If any want to and haven't turned in one yet, you are still welcome to turn in a bucket list. This bucket list is a list of a project/technique/kit that you have wanted to try, but have not got around to it.
Meeting was dismissed and sew time commenced along with lunch.
