Christmas Stockings for Kids
Posted By drsao on October 23, 2011
One of the members of the Richmond Modern Quilt Guild told us Friday night about a wonderful way to help children.
Lyanna of PURPLE PANDA QUILTS works with the Bair Foundation . They provide Christmas stockings for foster children. Many of these children have been abused and neglected. Go check out the link below.

If you are interested in doing something memorable for a child who has few advantages in life, here is an idea. Go to the link below – PURPLE PANDA QUILTS and you will find tutorials for how to make Christmas Stockings! There is even a GIVEAWAY for EARLY BIRD CONTRIBUTORS.

Here are some more details that I got from PURPLE PANDA QUILTS blog.
The details:
From October 1 – Dec 1, I will be hosting a stocking drive to benefit the foster children of Central Virginia. As part of this drive, I will be weekly (on tuesdays) posting tutorials for various stocking patterns – some even contributed by your favorite bloggers — and there will be a giveaway on Dec 1 for those who have participated with all sorts of great prizes.
There is a flickr group where I ask that you please post any pictures of the stockings you have made using the patterns, as well as pictures of stockings you plan to donate. This is also where I ask that you sign up if you are planning on donating a stocking. It will also be a great source of inspiration for your holiday sewing.
I ask that all stockings be mailed to me by no later than December 1, 2011. This is to ensure that we have enough time to fill them and distribute them to the children before Christmas. For information about where to mail please contact me via email (PurplePandaQuilts(at)gmail(dot)com) or flickr (PurplePandaQuilts).
