What is the 411 on a "Bee"?
A quilting bee is a social gathering of friends and neighbors who come together to work on a commom theme - quiltmaking! At a bee you can broaden your knowledge, enjoy each other's company and work on individual or group projects. Quilting bees also provide quilters with a place to exchange their fabrics and blocks, but also ideas, techniques and assistance.
The original purpose behind a quilting bee was to enlist the help of many people to help hand quilt rather than quilting by hand alone. While this is still a modern advantage to the quilting bee, the primary purpose behind quilting bees today is to socialize with others who enjoy the craft of quilting.
