The Grand Prairie Quilt Society met March 8 for their Sit 'n Sew at the First Christian Church's fellowship hall at Stuttgart with seven members present.
The leader opened the meeting with the Thought for the Day, "There is no Quilter's Anonymous because no one wants to quit!" The February minutes and treasurer's reports were given. A letter from Arkansas Children's Hospital was read thanking the group for their donation of several bags of small pillows for the patients, according to a news release.
Members were asked to bring ideas to the next meeting on a possible Quilt Day Camp sometime this summer.
