Bees are small groups of quilters who come together to sew, socialize, and share their skills. For some bees, individual members work on different projects. For others, they focus is on a common goal, such as all contributing to a specific quilt project or learning a particular quilting technique.
If a Bee says it is not accepting new members, please understand that this is due to space limitations. If the status changes, the listing will be updated. Members are welcome to coordinate with the contact person listed below for each Bee. If you would like to start a new Bee, awesome! Please contact the Bee Keeper Joni Eberle to “build a hive.”
