What is a quilt bee?  It’s a group of women who meet to promote fellowship involving quilting on various personal, group and/or charity projects.  These groups typically share common quilting goals and can form close bonds supporting each other in good and bad times.  Some groups even take road trips together.  Now that sounds like fun to me.  Groups form by geographical area, quilting topic or style such as paper piecing, appliqué, traditional or even art quilting.  Each group decides how many members to maintain, how often, when and where to meet and finally what focus/purpose their group wants to guide them.  Typically it meets once a month and can have a permanent location or change each meeting allowing all members to become a hostess.  Of course, great food is always involved. 

    Piecing Partners has several ongoing groups with 2 new forming as of January 2012.  Should you wish to join a bee or even form a new bee, get with the Bee Keeper and she can help you find a group or interested ladies.
