Quilt Show: Anne Pendred reported that the quilt show was fabulous. 37 members entered quilts in the show totaling 95 quilts. Our Luscious Lilies Raffle quilt raised $3519.00 with 4270 tickets being sold. There were 347 paid visitors to our show including children and husbands. The visitors were very surprised at the variety of quilts displayed. There were no duplicates. We had 4 vendors, our very own Good Night Irene Quilts, Loving Stitches, Sew Perfect and Bernina is Sew Much Fun. All of the vendors were pleased, but would have liked more space.

We have received only positive comments from those visiting the show. Anne would like any comments, suggestions or/and constructive criticisms from the membership to be sent to her. Julia Larsen has already volunteered for Publicity for the next show. The bottom line on money is not ready yet, but we made money on our show. We left the Armory cleaner that we found it.

Nancy Jo Marsden reported that she was a little disappointed in sales. We made approximately $150.00. Consignment items went well. Six sellers made $241.00. It’s hard to sell quilted items to quilters. A big Thank You to everyone who helped with the Market Place.

Gloria Welch reported for Mary Zeigler that the promotions booth was very busy. They met a lot of nice people interested in our comfort quilt project. They gave out a lot of the book marks they made with Brunswick Quilters information on them. A big Thank You for everyone who put items in the display and helped with the booth.

Carole McNeil made the display board for the booth. We’re going to keep it to use at Meet the Quilters Day in January. Wanda Williams gave Walker Bags to visitors who were using walkers.

Megan Carmichael sold quilts at the show and donated the profit to comfort quilts.

We need to make sure all of the signs placed along the roads are taken down. We will save them for future use. Anne suggested we get a storage unit for storage. Donna will help with storage until the issue is resolved. Prices for units will be investigated.

Thanks from Margo Woolard to Irene and everyone who worked on the raffle quilts especially the committee.
