Scrapbasket Quilt Guild Meeting Minutes -February 2026
Call to Order
The February meeting of the Scrapbasket Quilt Guild was called to order at 7:02 PM on 02/17/2026 in Brownsburg, IN.
Forty-four members were welcomed by president Sandy Beard, with no new members or guests.
Announcements
One of the quilts for this year’s raffle was on display at the meeting. It is a beautiful quilt of black stars on a bright rainbow background. This will be referred to as the “black” quilt. Our other raffle quilt not present at the meeting will be referred to as the “white” quilt, having a white background.
Raffle quilt sizes are:
o Black quilt: 77” x 88”
o White quilt: 97” x 107”
Pictures will be taken of both quilts and should be available by our next meeting to help in selling raffle tickets.
Raffle tickets are now ready for members to pick up. Each member is expected to sell at least 24 tickets. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. The owner of the first ticket drawn will choose the quilt they wish to have, the second ticket’s owner will receive the remaining quilt.
We need volunteers to help sell our raffle tickets at the Bloomington quilt show on March 5, 6 & 7. Shifts are 2 hours. A sign-up sheet was passed around.
Also needed are volunteers to help with the Bloomington quilt show itself. A link to sign up for this is on the Scrapbasket website and in the newsletter. This will gain you free entrance into the quilt show.
Committee Reports
Donations – Cindy Johnson: Two bins are in the lobby for donations, one is for completed projects and the other is for loose materials. The loose materials bin will be available for a few months if you would like to use some of it for your donation quilts. After a few months the remaining supplies will be donated to other organizations.
Refreshments – Linda Paulson:
o Thank you to Pam Maki and Debbie Gilmore for providing the refreshments this evening.
o At the beginning of each month, Linda will notify the people who signed up to bring refreshments for that month so they can coordinate with each other in deciding what to bring.
