Bee Blessed

http://www.flickr.com/groups/beeblessed/

This is a charity quilting bee, where folks can either come along to a monthly group that meets in Christian Fellowship Church, Holywood Road, Belfast or participate via the Bee Blessed blog: http://beeblessed2.blogspot.co.uk/ 

You will find the dates of the bee meetings, and lots more information on the Bee Blessed Blog.

The purpose of this group is to make quilts and other projects that we can gift to needy families/people/groups in our local area.

Anyone is welcome to come along for a bit of chat, tea & scones, and of course some purposeful sewing!  

I know that there is always a great response to charity bees out there in blogland, and so we would love for fellow bloggers to be involved too.

You can find out more about how you can get involved on the Bee Blessed blog.

We  realise that the needs of some folks out there is massive, especially during these hard financial times.  A small quilt may be a drop in the ocean of what is needed, but we hope that our Bee Blessed gifts will bring some light and hope into otherwise dark and sad places.
