Stitch and Share in a Small Group/ Bee |
The QGET organizes quilting bees for our members to promote our love of quilting and enhance community among members. You can see all the Bees on and days they meet on our calendar (here).
Our Bee Coordinator will connect members with potential Small Group/Bee Host . Email the Small Group/Bee Coordinator to be matched based on location and schedule availability. Potential members can decide if they want to join. Small Groups/Bees may vary in size based on the space available.
Keep in mind that a CLOSED bee merely indicates that the bee has reached capacity for membership for different reasons. Perhaps the bee meets in members home and there is only room for a certain number of people or the facility they meet at has limitation on workspace or tables.
Only QGET members are eligible to participate in open quilting bees. Click here to join the guild.
Also Check out our Community Services page for more ways to work on quilts with groups.
