Quilting Bees

Just What is a Quilting Bee?


A bee, as used in quilting bee, is a social gathering where people get together to quilt and sew. During the 19th century quilting bees were very popular. The goal was to work together to make a quilt very quickly. Many hands made the work much faster. Bees could turn out several quilts in a day. Quilts of those days were a necessity, functional, and most likely used on a daily basis. Women enjoyed the social aspect of quilting bees. Bees provided fun and fellowship along with the sewing.


Our Guild offers several Bees that meet regularly. To learn more about the various Bees see the list below or contact with your questions or comments.

Blessed are the Quilters

Blessed are the Quilters:
  For they are Piecemakers
  For they make ends meet
  For they know how to cut corners
  For they keep you in stitches
  For they are great comforters
  For they patch things up
  For they cover you with warmth
  For they pick up the pieces
  For they put color in your life
