This weekend is the Festival of Trees to benefit the Brenner’s Children’s Hospital. Local organizations and individuals decorate trees that are then actioned off to raise money for the hospital. I belong to the Forsyth Piecers and Quilter’s Guild and they have been participating in the benefit for 20 years.
This year I was the chair person for the decorating committee. A wonderful group of ladies helped to hand make 85 pears, 50 birds and 80 pear blossoms for our “Partridge in a Pear Tree” themed tree. All of their hard work payed off and we had a beautiful tree to show for it. I wonder how I can con them into doing all that hard work to decorate my Christmas tree at home. Hummm?
Gorgeous tree! Hey if you cook for me I’ll decorate your tree. Rumor has it you are a wonderful cook 🙂

Beautiful! Is the guild open to new members?
This is just what I would love to have in my house. So far, I made few birds and I have to find something to make a bird nest. I am loving this idea and thank you so much. I think I am going to make pears then along with the birds. So lovely Christmas tree!
