Community service- Only a block or two from the main Missouri Star shop, a fire destroyed a family's Hamilton home. We have volunteered to donate our community service quilts that we had made and kept on reserve in case of such a tragedy. A relative of the family who lost their home works at Caldwell County Library and is willing to take pictures of the donated quilts and publish them in the newspaper.
Publicity is going well in local papers Old business-
Becky reviewed program calendar for 2016. There are still some unaccounted for months. The hopes to form a calendar for the first six months of the year have not became a reality. I find at this time it would be of more utility to the group to post on a monthly basis what programs come next since there is still some degree of uncertainty regarding these first six months.
Sue J. shared an idea regarding future programs. She knows of a lady who works at the Chillicothe museum who gives wonderful, engaging talks about aprons. I am uncertain if she specializes in vintage aprons or just aprons in general, but either would be lovely in a program.
Maxine has completed quilting the Baptist Home quilt. As some of you may remember, when we had a quilt show at the Baptist Home last summer, some blocks were given to us that were made by a resident that passed away before she could do anything with them. They were given to us to put together and quilt and return to the Baptist home in time for their benefit auction, which is in June, I believe.
The next quilt in line to get quilted by the talented Maxine is our Round Robin.
In relationship to the Round Robin, some posed the question of how we planned to gain revenue in 2016. The raffle is a great way to get money for the guild, and some had thoughts of raffling off the Round Robin this summer/fall.

Pat Y's finished Mystery Quilt Project
Pat Y. teaches a quilt class in Gallatin and this is a sampler of the blocks that she has taught to her class.
We had a wonderful program this month by Charlotte. She has designed a paper-piecing pattern of these lovely arrows and she hosted a workshop on them. It was a lot of fun and now I think everyone wants to make one of their own!
