Mystery Quilt – Donna Blum
Part number 3 will be put on the web site today.  Donna encouraged anyway who has not joined in the Mystery Quilt fun, to get started. There is still time.
 
Comfort Quilts – Polly Dakin
Polly was happy to see 16 ladies at the comfort quilt workshop.  The labels for the comfort quilts can be picked up at the Dolphin.  Polly passed two “Thank You” notes around for everyone to read. 
Polly brought to our attention that there was a request for one of our comfort quilts to be donated for a community fund raiser.  It was decided by the group that our comfort quilts were only for their original purpose.  If we wish to support other activities, a special quilt could be made by individual members or groups from the Guild that wish to do so.
