The ladies at the church where I grew up had a quilting bee once a month to make quilts to give to those who lost their house to a fire or some other need. I have many special memories of sitting around the quilt with them as I was growing up and practicing my quilting skills. So many important topics for ladies were discussed around those quilts and lots of laughter. I think we miss out on special times of connecting with others by not keep up that tradition. I have a number of friends who like to quilt and at least once or twice a year I try to host a quilting bee to keep that tradition alive. Right now we're working on a quilt to donate to an auction that raises funds for relief work.

That looks like so much fun!

That is so neat. To have all your friends help quilt it. What an heirloom.

Love the photo of the bee! and it's a beautiful quilt!

Wonderful, just wonderful.

I wish we could all join in! That looks like the greatest fun. What a treasure this picture is!
