October Meeting Recap:

  • Bylaw updates, 2024 Board, and Budget were passed. 
  • 2024 dues are 65 dollars. Check or Zelle is preferred. 
  • We are running a silent auction through the November meeting to purchase the community quilts. 
  • We had a lovely collage activity, based on a technique from Sarah Hibbert. A low cost and stress free way to try out a quilt idea before committing to a full quilt.
