CURRENT "BEE" LISTING

Several "quilting bees" are available to our members who may have a specific interest or who would like to get to know other members in a small group setting.  Some Bees are held in members’ homes or at quilt shops. Most meet at the Chota Recreation Center. The majority of the bees are open to new members.

Cathie Peterson

Chota Room C 

The Appliqué Bee is a group interested in appliqué. Appliqué is the process of applying a piece of fabric on top of a background.  We primarily do hand appliqué which generally uses invisible stitches.  There are several ways to place the fabric on the background and we all use our favorite.  We usually do a project for the boutique.  We are very willing to teach and help others if you are learning or interested.

Chota Room A

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.
