Guild Christmas Idea
Each year the town where our guild is located holds a Christmas Tree Walk. Different organizations decorate the trees. For years our guild has made different ornaments. Last year we decided to pick a color scheme and a size and all make blocks that would be hung on the tree. We gathered them up after the celebration and turned the blocks into two Charity Quilts. We liked the idea so well I think it may become a tradition as we are doing it again this year.

You are multi tasking Christmas presents, use up your scraps, decorate your trees, fund raising for the guild, excersise as people walk around to view the different sites in the town and then gifting warmth. This is indeed a great idea, the whole community benefits.
