Brookline Bees

Tuesdays, 10:30 am-12:00 pm April showers…means lots of time indoors working on sewing projects! The Brookline Bees sewing group is busy making items to sell at the annual sidewalk sale in June. In addition to the raffle quilt, we are making aprons for walkers, tote bags, and other favorites. What else would you suggest? The Brookline Bees are a group of people, some of whom have not used a sewing machine since middle school, others who have been sewing all our lives, coaching and collaborating on projects we care about — making baby quilts, hemming slacks, making custom bags, appliance covers, or pillow shams — with fun and conversation. Please join us! Friday, April 17, from 12-4 pm, will be an Open Sewing day and Joyce will be in our workroom. Anyone is welcome to come make items for the craft sale, or work on your own project with tools and coaching available. Joanne (below) has been busy making baby quilts for her growing family!

Please note that Tuesday, May 5, is voting day in Brookline. The Bees will not meet that day — be sure to vote! Your opinion matters! Downsizing? We are always glad to receive fabric, notions and equipment in good condition.
