Quilting bees generally involve several women gathering together to help one another on a project. They may be working on a joint project or finishing one a quilting friend has started. These gatherings were the social affairs for ladies in pioneer days and have continued to the present.
When my daughter became ill and experienced a […]

Ever since the days of the early quilting bees, we seem to associate quilting and cooking as related arts. The ladies who gathered to help one another on their quilting projects usually enjoyed eating together, too. Then in the evening their families might join for a social evening.

Even though you belong to online quilting and fabric art groups, most quilters enjoy getting together in person with a local group periodically. My daughter Beth finds these bi-weekly Friday gatherings a break in her schedule and a source of inspiration.
They share, they try different techniques, they enjoy refreshments, and they sometimes go on day […]
As the public health therapist sat with my husband and me at the dining table, going over the details of hubby’s upcoming knee replacement therapy, my daughter and granddaughter arrived home from errands.

As I watched my daughter make a fairy for the Round Robin quilt book project her Fiber Explorers group is undertaking, I was amazed. The theme for the book she had to work on this session was Art Paper Dolls.
