The meeting was called to order by President Noemi B at 6:00 pm. She thanked our hospitality volunteers, Erin B, Lisa F, Stormy H and Mary W.

Noemi also introduced the business part of the meeting, stating that there were items that needed to be presented before the break, so members could get more information on our new community service Quilting Bees, and also do the survey, visit the library and sign up for the Kona Mini Challenge for 2026.

First, Nancy P gave a program update. In April, the program is Heart Beat Quilt Design Night, where members work together to choose completed blocks and lay them out into a design. A variety of colors have been used, so each quilt will look very different. Some volunteers will hopefully take the blocks home to put the top together. Others will volunteer to quilt the tops, making the process a true guild effort. We will also show our 2026 Kona Mini Challenge quilts using the color Wander.

In May, Radha Weaver, of @sewingthoughfog, will give a lecture on Upcycling, and our 2026 Upcycle Challenge will kick off.

June’s meeting will feature Daisy Aeschehoug of Norway give her talk “Anatomy of a Curve.” The next day, June 24, she will teach a workshop, “Giant Nested Circles.”
