Busy Day

Tuesday, December 7th , Pix Martin organized 'a placemat bee' to make 100 placemats for Innisfree Care Facility in Kitchener. The placemats are used on their food trays. Pix's Studio was buzzing with activity as sewers came to help sew, cut, turn and iron. By 8:30 in the evening, 150 placemats had been created. I am sure the residents will enjoy, the little 'perk,' on their trays.
