CURRENT "BEE" LISTING

1st Wednesday, 9:00am - 5:00pm

4th Wednesday 8:30am-4:00pm

The Divas started as a group of women who had worked closely together on the boutique committee for a long-ago quilt show.  They found that they enjoyed each other’s company so much, they stayed together and formed a Bee.  Several of the original members have moved away but new members have joined us. We still enjoy each other’s company. 

We meet to help each other with on-going projects, share new ideas and techniques, bring in ideas to inspire each other and occasionally will all work together on a single project for a specific cause.  We are a group bound in friendship and the love of quilting and happily welcome any who would like to join us.

1st Thursday, 10:00am - 2:00pm

The Happy Hands bee was established 10 years ago for all those quilters that love handwork.  

Contact person is Sandra Black at s.black@tds.net or Cindy Blackberg at cindyblackberg@gmail.com. 

There is always room for new people, but we do need people to contact us to make sure the meeting is not cancelled.

The WannaBees is an informal quilt bee that meets on the second and fifth Wednesdays of the month.  It is open to any and all quilters who enjoy a social gathering place to work on their quilting projects.  There is no agenda except to sit and sew among friends who are willing to answer questions, provide guidance, and give opinions (when asked!).  You come when you want and leave when you must.   Feel free to come by and meet us, and hopefully join our group of quilters.
