Brookline Bees
A Bee – u – ti – ful Gift
By Leanne Cordischi
Clearing a home after someone you love has passed is painful. Sifting through items to keep, toss or donate is an arduous task. It can bring you to tears and lead you to smiles.
Last year I was tasked to clear out my parents’ home. In an effort to get the house on the market quickly and to move my dad into his independent apartment, I feverishly sorted through boxes in the eaves, closets in the basement and all the rooms in-between. In my search and sort, I came across a bag tucked in the back of my mother’s sewing table. As I opened the bag, I found familiar squares from a quilt my mother had started years ago.

February makes us think of our loved ones! Below is a quilt Joyce made for a friend, to bring the colors of Florida into her condo in Florida. What can we make together for a loved one of your own? Joyce also brought back some yummy brilliantly colored fabric from Kenya! We can’t wait to see what she creates with it! We have assembled what will be the raffle quilt for April. It’s a quick pattern, using some easy and beautiful techniques to fashion what will be a luscious quilt with rich colors. Be sure to get your raffle tickets when they go on sale! Is there a new child due in your world?Now’s the time to order a quilt customized just for you. Let us know what animals, what color scheme, and we will work with you. Email us at brooklinebeehive@gmail.com Come sew with us, or at least kibbitz and share the fun of designing a new project on Tuesdays from 10:30-12:00.
Worried that your hands or vision are no longer up to the challenge of sewing? We have some pretty handy tools to assist. Come check us out. Downsizing? We are always glad for donations of fabric and notions. Please keep us in mind as you de-clutter! We are also happy to welcome sewing machines no more than 10 years old in good working order.
