The Bee Kind Blog Hop Challenge started on Monday, hosted by the amazing Joan @Moosestash Quilting. Today I get to share my kind projects, and bee project. Thanks so much to Joan for another amazing hop, and a chance to finish up one of my undone projects.
The challenge this time is to show our "kind projects", favorite charity project, a free pattern or anything that shows we spread a little kindness, everywhere we go. Of course Bee projects of all kinds fit in there too.
I am a co-chair of the Community Service section of my local guild, and have donated quite a few quilts. Recently I have been hooked on making the potato chip blocks with my scraps. Here are two I donated to my guild..jpg)

Recently a lady joined our guild who gathers handmade quilts, fabric, funds for supplies to make quilts. The organization is called Christmas Quilts for Recovery. These quilts are given Christmas Day to burn patients at UC Davis Hospital Burn Center and children at Shriner's Hospital for Children to let them know they aren't forgotten at Christmas. Roxie and another guild member recently had a sewing day to make quilt tops. I was not able to go but donated two tops.

Last week at our guild meeting, I donated the top I made for the Its a Jungle Blog Hop to the Christmas Quilts For Recovery.

For my Bee Kind project, I have been working on Kathy Schmitz embroidery for several years, and many of them had bees. I got them all together and embroidered a couple of more and put them together. When I found out about the Bee Kind Blog Hop, I purchased a layer cake that had a lot of bees in it, and also a lot of sunflowers, and I used them for a piano key border.
The entire list of bloggers is below. Be sure and visit them and see what they have come up with.
