Meeting called to order.
Minutes were accepted as read on blog with motion by Ina and second by Carol.
Treasurer report was shared by Shannon. Raffle tickets for the Southern Sayings quilt will be available at the next meeting to sell or purchase. The money from this goes toward our rent at the RAC. Maple Street asked to combine their checking account with PTQ, but keep it separate in the books, just to help them keep from dropping below the minimum needed in their checking account as they are paying to rent the space at the RAC monthly. Marilyn motioned and Ina seconded.
We had a new visitor today, so welcome to the club Rebecca.
Ebba is looking for her 16 1/2" square ruler, if anyone has any information on its whereabouts please let her know.
Mountain Quilt Fest Challenge was presented to the group. The theme is a 250 year celebration of our country. Gabi shared some ideas. To go forward we would need at least 5 entries to be able to enter as a group. If interested speak up or we will pass this year.
Someone left contact information wanting someone to make a quilt for them...Ebba will investigate what they are looking for.
Ina presented the QOV instructions and packets of precut fabrics for the blocks. The kits have to be signed out and returned to ensure the quilt comes together. These will be due at the next meeting so reach out to Ina if you want to get one.
Calendars were passed out and will be added to the blog under the 2026 Calendar tab. Please note that the MQA gathering will not be in June but in August this year for the summer gathering.
Brenda presented the 2025 bucket list check in and quite a few knocked off some items from their lists so way to go guys!
