The ladies met and had their business meeting which included news that the quilters Covered Bridges mailbox already has a bid in on it. Two charity quilts were turned in making a total of 24 for the year. The goal is 35.  The "oval" shape was added to the Circles Challenge Quilt profile. Joy Anderson was welcomed back from New Zealand and she shared some of the fabrics that she had purchased on her recent trip. The beautiful cottons cost about $24. a meter. Marie, your prices are great!!!!
