Gwinnett Quilters’ Guild, Inc.   Our Quilting Bee Groups are composed of 2-15+ people with a common interest who meet on a regular basis to promote the art of quilting. These Bees meet locally in homes, activity centers, churches, and quilt shops. Members of these Small Groups develop long-lasting friendships, thus becoming the heart of the Guild.  Any Guild member can start or join as many Bees as energy and commitment allow. All Guild members are encouraged to join in the fun! If you need assistance in creating or joining a Small Group Quilting Bee, please contact us at info@gwinnettquiltersquild.org.

Small BEE Groups, Announcements, December 2023
Kids are our future!! Let’s be intentional in
teaching the kids in our community to love
sewing and quilting as much as we do!!
Where? Lawrenceville Elementary has invited members of our
Youth BEE to host an afterschool sewing club on
Wednesdays from January 24th – March 27th from 3:45 PM
to 4:45 PM. No sessions will be held on February 14th or
March 15th.
Who? 5th graders who have an interest in sewing will attend
these after-school sessions.
We’re looking for one or two quilters to assist with this
fun project where creativity and social interaction are
key.
Kids will need access to a sewing machine so please bring a
machine that you’re ok with the kids handling under your
supervision. Students will be paired with a veteran
quilter/volunteer on a 2 to 1 ratio.
Please contact Barbara Conner or Kim Beasley for more
information.

 

Come out and join one of our open Small BEE Groups in
December/January…
