Lots of new folks around here with our long-time quilter bees! Normally, with a quilt along, I provide weekly videos and posts with tips and tricks.

This will be different - this is a “QUILT BEE.” The pattern is so easy that I really just wanted to provide a way for people to “create together” like communities used to when they gathered to make quilts as a community for each other.

So, I’d love for you to post progress reports each week. You can quilt be with us by either joining the Facebook community group or signing up for emails to get updates each Saturday.
