Bulletin Board

We are still looking for items for the Silent Auction. If you are planning on submitting a basket, remember to consider items that would appeal to the general public as several of our “guests” may not be quilters. Of course, sewing and quilt items are always appreciated by our fellow quilters. In addition, we do need more quilts for sale as everyone needs a snuggle with a beautiful and comfortable quilt.

It would be helpful when submitting items, you provide a “starting bid” since you know the time and costs of materials.

The participant who brings in the most money for a single donated item will receive their QU
dues (2026) gratis. The Sit N Stitch group that brings in the most money for a group donation
will receive a $20 gift certificate, given to the contact person named in the directory, to use
at one of your upcoming Sit N Stitch sessions.

You can give Marty your items at any upcoming QU meeting. If you are unable to bring your
item, she is happy to meet up with you to get your donation. You can contact Marty O’Neill, Chair via email or by cell.

The QU Family lost a beloved member in May 2025.

A Tribute to Marsha Walper is posted along with a loving tribute by one of her Bits & Pieces friends:

For those of you who wish to attend the Celebration of Life Service, it will be held:

Marsha will truly be missed, and our deepest sympathy goes out to her family.

As the year moves along, it is time to start thinking about 2026. We need to form a nominating committee to present a slate of nominees for 2026 Officers.

If you are interested in serving on the nominating committee or as a 2026 officer, please let me know.

Here is a quick recap of officer positions and requirements from our by-laws. More details about the officers’ duties .

•The elected officers of this organization shall be the President, President-Elect, Membership Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
•The officers shall be elected to serve for one year. No officer may hold the same office for more than three consecutive years.
•No officer shall hold more than one office at a time, although an officer may chair a committee in conjunction with an office.
•Officers for the upcoming year shall be solicited by a Nominating Committee. A nominee must have been a member of the organization for at least one year and must give prior consent to the nomination.

Thanks!
