Today, quilting and crafting ladies still get together for what I’d call “modern” quilting bees.  As I read Cindy’s Stitches in Time blog post about friends getting together to work on quilt kits they had purchased at quilt show, I pondered on the many types of quilting bees in today’s world of the computer and Internet.

• Friends getting together at one another’s homes to work on projects
• Quilting groups meeting regularly to work on projects; these might be their own or a charity project
• Groups working on fund raising projects
• Internet groups that exchange information and news via e-mail
• Round robin projects sent through the mail to those within a group.
• Two quilters who exchange projects and news via mail and e-mail.
• Quilting classes that continue as quilting groups who meet regularly

(Although I mention quilting bees, these gatherings could involve most any art/craft.)

What type of quiting or crafting bee are you involved in?
