Virtual Quilting Bees
Hi all,
David and I spoke about virtual quilting bees during the last meeting, and I thought I should post some info for those who are interested. Virtual quilting bees are a LOT of fun and help you learn great new techniques! Here are some of the blocks I have made in the Hip 2 Bee Square Bee:
A virtual quilting bee usually consists of 12 people, and the group runs for a year. Most folks use Flickr as the group page. Each month, one member is the "Queen Bee" and sends out fabric and instructions. Each member makes a quilt block and mails it back. After the month is over, the Queen Bee should have enough blocks to piece together a quilt! The only fees are the mailing costs (a dollar or two each month) and the fabric costs for your Queen Bee month.
If you like making the monthly Metro Mod Challenge blocks, you'll really enjoy joining a bee! CLICK HERE for the main Flickr group with an ongoing discussion thread if you want to sign up for a bee. Enjoy!
