Today I Was Sewing Christmas Stockings!

 Meet Chris ... 

The Queen Bee of the Bayside Quilts Outreach Bee.

Without her direction & dedication [as well as Kris not pictured] 

the Outreach Bee wouldn't be the Outreach Bee it is today!

Santa told me he will be leaving something

special under the tree this year for Chris.

This is because of her work to help those group

who have requested stocking for those in need.

 Today's project was making Christmas stockings

... 150 medium & 150 large ... to be distributed to

various groups ... for example ... Marine Mom's.

 It takes a team of hard working ladies who have fun

each month working on various projects

for Community Outreach.

 The Outreach Bee had sewers who brought

 their sewing machines from home ...

 Cutters who kept the sewers busy ...

Fabric organizers who matched stocking bottoms with tops ...

 We had JoAnn who stared the morning pressing folds out of

fabric then moved on to pressing completed stockings

and finally ending the afternoon with cutting.

 Chris ... the organized ... the task-master let us take

a lunch break because we caught her breaking for lunch!

... Are You Sure? ... 

... Smiling Faces ...

 The Bee had a productive and fun day.

... My Homework ...

30 stockings to complete by the next meeting.

{after making 2,000 doggie bandanna's I can

make 30 Xmas stockings in my sleep!}

We hit the ground this beautiful Wednesday morning

drinking coffee, eating homemade pumpkin donuts rolled

in cinnamon sugar, chatting, and sewing up a storm.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
