QUILTING BEES

Questions - Contact Member Bee Chair

MEMBER BEES

Member bees are open to all AQG members, but they are here especially to help encourage the new members and beginning quilters. If you would like to meet or help new quilters, have questions about the guild, are looking for volunteers for your committees, or just want a couple of hours of fun and fellowship with other quilters, then you are welcome.

Our main purpose is to bring people together in a fun and stress-free way to meet others, learn about our guild and share quilting knowledge. Hopefully, you and the people you meet will become lifetime quilting buddies.

Check out the following groups and plan to come to at least one of them. You are welcome at any or all of them. Bring a project you are currently working on, especially if you need help with it or advice on it. Don't forget your SHOW and TELL.
