2008 Puyallup Sewing & Stitchery Charity Event



This is a picture from the 2008 Sewing & Stitchery Expo in Puyallup. On Sunday, we had a "Charity Tea" -- and hundreds of women paid $10 to sit at a table for an hour and visit with a "Sewing Star". Here you see Joanne Ross, Expo Chair and Sue Hausmann rushing around to re-set the tables. We only had 15 minutes between each session (we did SIX sessions). It was a very, very busy time. All the money we raised went to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer.

In 2009 -- we changed the charity event and it morphed into a "GO RED" Style Show to benefit the American Heart Association. It was a very big deal -- a one-time only ALL RED EVENT. Our Sewing Stars all agreed to make a special red outfit for themselves -- and we had everything you can think of -- from jogging suits to evening gowns. The audience all WORE RED as well. My next blog assignment is to find the pictures from the Go Red event and put up another "slide show".

Just when I thought things were going great -- I went back to my Picasa account -- and can't seem to find the 3000 photos I uploaded last night.

Hey -- if it was easy -- anybody could BLOG...
