SUNSHINE REPORT

WEE CARE REPORT
In Biolanda's absence, Lana noted that there have been 17 baby quilts and 26 CPS bags donated since June. There is a stack of new items that have been brought in today, several of which were made by Doniene Fullagar.
Vickie Mazurek made the motion to accept the August Guild minutes and Treasurer's Report as per the Consent Agenda. Connie Hart seconded the motion, and the motion passed.
Lana Webb and treasurer Connie Hansen, by executive order, gave The Ark of Brownwood a donation check in the amount of $100.00.
Connie Hansen's booth in the 2015 Comanche Pow Wow hosted the Brownwood Quilt Guild's 2016 Donation Quilt on display. Judy Tiedemann sold donation tickets Sunday, adding $23.00 to the donation fund.
Lana Webb and Becky Martin went to Coleman's Fiesta de la Paloma with the donation quilt. Joy Early joined them there. This effort brought $78.00 in donations, and after deducting $30.00 for the booth fee, netted another $48.00 for the quilt's donation fund.
Connie Hansen will be setting up her personal booth in Hamilton, Texas, on Saturday 24 October 2015 UNLESS IT IS RAINING. She will check to find out if there are plans to move the venue indoors in case of inclement weather. If so, she will again share space for the Guild's donation quilt ticket sales. If not, she is not going to go to Hamilton. Vickie Mazurek will go to Hamilton with Connie, barring rain.
Twelve donation tickets and a picture of the 2016 donation quilt were affixed to a candy packet, and each member present today was given a packet. Guild members are asked to please sell these twelve tickets. If needed, there are more tickets available. Feel free to sell as many of the donation tickets as possible. Two of today's candies were marked "mystery"; Vickie Mazurek and Patsy Oherlein held the two marked candies and were awarded a candy bowl each.
Lana explained that part of the proceeds from the Donation Quilts in years past have helped defray the cost of the quilt show in the Colisium. We're not having a quilt show this year. Ruby Goodwin questioned what is going to be done with the seed money that we have on hand from our last quilt show. . Mildred Turner said that quilt proceeds have gone into programs for the Guild. Lana said that we have not spent $100.00 so far this year, and that $100.00 was carried over from last year to this year, and we owed it out Connie said that everything that has been spent so far this year has come out of money collected this year, not money out of the bank. We do have reserve money. Lana's question is since we're not having a quilt show this year and our money was all lumped into the quilt show, could we give a little bit more to the charity issue than the 10% that we've done in the past? 2016's charity choice is Toys For Kids. Vickie Mazurek made the
motion that we give 75% after expenses to our charity of choice, seconded by Ruby Goodwin, motion carried by acclimation. The seed money that is in reserve will still go to the next quilt.
Debra Revay has invested in a cutter and will share it with Guild members if it's used at her home.
Vita Weehunt's new shop, The Quilter's Hideout, is now open and is very nice. Guild members, please support this venture and share the word. The shop is located on the Early Highway and there is a little sign on the side of the road.
Vickie Mazurek will hold November's workshop, "Collage Quilts". Those planning to attend will need to bring: thread, sharp scissors for fussy cutting, an assortment of different flower fabrics, batting, backing, your sewing machine and a free motion foot or walking foot if you want to quilt it there. $10.00 workshop fee
Guild will provide Steam-a-Seam 2, background fabric, the foundation fabric. Plan to stay two to three hours. You might want to bring a lunch.
Look at collage examples on Vickie's blog, More Stars in Comanche
There is a sign-up sheet available. Vickie will send out an e-mail to those interested in this workshop.
There are six vintage quilt tops displayed over the windows in the meeting room today: Lana explained that these were found in a suitcase in a storage unit near Houston, Texas, and are in excellent, clean condition. They have been donated to the Guild. What to do with them, (1) hand quilting workshop for kids or adults, (2) members buy them for individual use, (3) make available for a kids' project, (4) quilt them and sell them for a profit with the money to go to the Guild? Vickie suggested that we keep at least one of the tops for us to use in our own handquilting bee workshop. Mildred said that there is a lady in Rising Star, Texas, who hand quilts at a most reasonable price. It was ultimately decided that they will be put away for the time being and the Guild will plan on an old fashioned quilting bee in the not too distant future

Millie Schwab presented the BOM "Whirling Geese".
