A Quilting Bee is a social gathering where people come together to create quilts. Participants often bring their own sewing supplies and work collaboratively on quilt projects. These events can be held in homes, community centers, or churches, fostering a sense of community and shared creativity. During a quilting bee, individuals may share techniques, patterns, and stories while sewing. The atmosphere is typically friendly and supportive, allowing both experienced quilters and beginners to learn from one another. Quilting bees often celebrate the art of quilting, which has historical significance in many cultures, including American and European traditions.
