Our monthly meeting was called to order by Dorine at 7PM with 10 members and 2 guests present.  Minutes were read and approved by Betty in Charmayne's absence.   Shelly gave the treasurers report.  The only bill was for books that were purchased for the Walnut Library.   Dues are being collected.  If you haven't paid them , please contact Shelly.

Our group presented 4 new books about quilting to Margo Matthix the Walnut librarian as a gift from the group for allowing us to use the library.

Roxie reported on the Charity quilts.  We are working on quilts for the Oakland Nursing home and we will be making 40x40 inch lap robes and 15 inch walker bags.  There will be no sew day this month.  It will be rescheduled at our next meeting.

We all turned in lovely Christmas ornaments for Dorine's ornament project.  Please continue to make ornaments.  They will be collected at each meeting.

Betty finished her project for the little bag that she was sharing with us.  Bring them next month to continue the trade. 

 They are so cute and fun to make.  We also traded our 12 1/2 inch blocks.  Sashing will be added to one side and another 12  1/2 inch block added to it.

Sally won the quilto game and received the  green charms.  Next month we will bring charms in Easter Pastels.  

New business  included that Fran will have the project demo next month.  Fran also shared a pattern with all of us... We are to bring the quilt square back with us next month.

We all brought paper goods for the food pantry and next month we should bring cleaning products.

It was also decided to have members share a treat at each meeting Darla  and Sharon will bring treats for out March 17th meeting.

Another great meeting with lots of fun activities.  Can't wait to see what Fran has in mind for us next month... I am sure it will be fun.

Lots of pretty show and share too.
