What is the best part of going to a Guild meeting?
Seeing your friends?
Sharing new quilting ideas or tips?
Show and tell?

If you answered yes to any of these questions and desire to get together with your like-minded buddies more often than once a month at Guild meetings, or would like to meet with a smaller group in a different setting, then maybe one of our "Bees" is right for you! There are several mini-groups, or Bees, that have formed within the last year.

If you are interested in joining in the fun please contact a Bee leader (there may be a group that suits your time schedule) they have a chair waiting for you! If you are interested in forming your own Bee; or would like to find out more about the Bees and how they work, please contact the BeeKeeper. We will see if we can get you buzzing along within the hive.

The more Bees, the more fun, the more quilts ... what could be better?

Pablo BEEcassos
Tuesday morning Bee --

This group is focused on non-traditional quilting and styles such as art quilts, various types of fabric, digitized images and three-dimensional techniques. The group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 9:30am. Meeting location is the Little Creek Recreation Center, 610 Foxcroft Dr in W-S. The contact person is Gail McNeill, 721-9150, proust@triad.rr.com

The Beecassos have periodic group challenges, which are tons of fun and push our creativity to new levels. These examples are the results from those challenges. In this challenge, each participant was given an identical bag of "stuff" and was to incorporate at least 9 of the items. It is inspiring to see other's creative side.

NOTE: Please see excerption Beecasso Article as featured in the May'08 issue of The Community Arts Café, an exceptional on-the-web e-magazine about "Arts in the Triad."
