The Meeting was held on Thursday, May 11th at the Malad Senior Center.

This was Esther Emerson’s first meeting as president, since her co-president, Brenda Daniels left for her mission.

Tammy Benson showed the smaller (less than twin I think) quilt that will be this year’s raffle quilt.  There is a possibility that we may have two quilts for this year’s raffle.

Tammy will be selling raffle tickets at the car show on June 3rd. 

We will need help selling raffle tickets for the Welsh Festival, and on the 4th of July. Everyone agreed that the ticket prices should remain the same this year. The price for tickets will be $1 each or 6 tickets for $5.  

We are looking into a form of electronic payment.

Work is taking place to line up the use of the Co-Op during the Welsh Festival and will most likely be headed up by Sharon Harris. The first step is to check with the city, to make sure we can use the Co-Op building.

1. Our next class will be held on June 15th , where Debbie Schoolcraft will be presenting a demonstration on Crumb Quilting.

2.  July will be our lunch at the Dude Ranch, though it may not be available at the time, so we need to find an alternate plan.  Planning took place for a few months where there were no assigned quilting topics.

3. A Stack and Whack Kaleidoscope square will be taught in September

4. One Block Wonder/Crazy Quilts in October.  We will most likely use scraps out of the guild’s stash for the crazy quilt and then we can all have a block done for a charity quilt. 

We were delighted by many talented quilters during their show and tell session:

1. Mary Ellen made a scrappy binding with leftover fabric from the quilt.

2. Cindy has been busy making baby quilts.  One is cut up cloth book panels.  Another is a panel from Allen Drug.

3. Tammy held up the raffle quilt for Heritage Square (I believe). The dragon fabric came from Allen Drug.

4. Patti made a quilt for her grandson

5. We also saw quilts from JoLynn John, Barbara Leshter.  Nylashowed a patten in 3 steps and Nyla’s hearts, Audrey showed the start of the friendship quilt. Audrey is helping a family member of Norman’s to complete a quilt.

Esther then talked about needles and thread.
