Old Business
Cancer Quilts Update
Susan brought the finished quilts, complete with labels, to the meeting and sent them with Cheryl. (7-8 quilts) Cheryl and Linda V will arrange a time to get together and take a photo of each quilt and present them to FirstLight in Mora.
It was agreed that we would have Cheryl purchase label paper on her next trip to Duluth and she will be reimbursed through our group funds. Also, Melissa will work out our master label so that we can try to fit 4 labels to a sheet.
Quilt tops were distributed to Susan and Linda B for quilting and Sharon and Linda V are on standby for binding.
Goal
To complete and donate 10 quilts to Mercy and 10 to FirstLight each year, unless more are requested.

February Meeting Re-cap
Hello Everyone,
Just a quick recap of the February meeting.
1.) The last of the rows from the Round Robin Row Exchange were revealed and there where so many beautiful rows! This was really a fun group project.
2.) Ideas were tossed around for our next group project. It was tabled until next month, so if you have ideas, bring them to the March meeting. One idea is to have a block swap where we all make the same block pattern and then exchange. We would like to try a block size that is smaller than 12 1/2" bring block ideas with in March.
3.) 2 1/2" strips were exchanged, now we await the results of everyone's creative ideas!
4.) A committee was started to plan future retreats. Committee members as this point are: Kathy P., Elsie C., Kathy R., and Barb S. The first retreat that these ladies will plan will be the October Retreat at Woodland Beach Resort. More info later!
5.) The Linden Hill Retreat is just around the corner in April. Those that are signed up to go, remember that I need full payment by March 1st.
6.) April 13th will be a work day for our donation quilts during open sewing at the Barnum High School.
7.) We are going to look into the idea of vests or t-shirts with a logo for Seam Sisters available for order. More info next month.

2 1/2" Strip Swap
We did decide to go forward with an idea that Linda V presented. All who would like to participate are to bring 2 1/2 yds of fabric, pre-cut into 2 1/2" strips. We decided on red, white, & black. It could be just one color or any mix of the three. We then divide them equally with the participants. If I have misunderstood this, Linda will explain further next month.
