I had the opportunity at open sew to lay out all the lucky star blocks in an attempt to distribute the colors. The only colors I was focusing on, are the the colors of the stars. I didn't have time to organize the sashing colors. But, I have all the rows together in star order. Next time, I will sit, and, turn the sashings in the right order.
Every year, for years, our community has sponsored decorated Christmas trees. The trees are sold
at auction, and, the money is donated to We care charity for Christmas charity giving. At this point, mostly businesses can afford to buy the trees and display them at their businesses. Our guild charity chairman decided to try We care this year for our guild. This year is the guild's first participation in sponsoring a tree. Here is my picture of it on display at the mall. It looks great. The chairman valued the tree at 4,000.00. There are many donations and contributions to our "tree". The trees will be auctioned on November 12th. We will see if anyone wants a quilty Christmas.Barbie was a big theme this year, I saw 5 trees all decked out with pink and Barbie. I didn't take many pictures. I was busy looking.

Oh the colors in those Lucky STars!!!
ReplyDeletea lot of Christmas trees so prettily decorated - as someone else said malls are kind of fading away - I wish they would come back good I actually always liked to wander the malls at Christmas time to shop - I am not much of a shopper but I found it got me more in the spirit
