Karen called the February 19 meeting to order. After refreshments we had show and tell. Many of the members showed beautiful quilts and projects they are working on. Jan showed some of the quilts the club are making for the oncology center and one of the quilts that will be made for a fundraiser.

Janie gave the financial report. A motion was made by Linda and seconded by Elaine to pay the bill. Motion carried. Karen reminded us about the Quilt Book Library. We had committee reports and decided to table the chamber celebration.

The Fair Book changes were discussed and a few changes will be suggested. A motion was made by Janie and seconded by Annette for the Quilt Guild to sponsor a “Best of Color and Design” Award for the fair and have a $50 cash award. Motion carried. We also were reminded about the Lattice Square block that will be the theme of our fair booth and what our plans for the use of the block in the projects were are making.

Janice reported on the food stand sale receipts from Joyce’s sale. Roger Morris won the cake raffle. Linda donated the cake.

Please remove Jana in the Birthday FQ’s Club, replace her with Courtney.
