Sewing Bees
CSQG members may form "bees" where members get together in small groups to sew and socialize outside of CSQG meeting times. New groups may be formed depending on need and interest. For more information or to be added to an interest list please contact Mary Pauley at pauley.mary.ann@gmail.com.
Our first bee is Sew InSpired. It includes a group of 12 members who meet monthly to sew, share ideas and stories, as well as support and motivate each other through sewing and quilting events. Group size is limited to 12 and the group meets in a member's home for each monthly meeting. The bee is currently full. To be added to an interest list, please contact Mary Pauley at pauley.mary.ann@gmail.com.
February, 2023 - A New Monthly Bee - CSQG Member Meet-Up will begin on Thursday, February 16th, 3:00 - 5:00 pm, location to be determined (details to be announced in member newsletter and announcements). These meets will take place in public locations and will be open to all Guild members.
We have a virtual "longarmers' bee" meets quarterly via Zoom. The purpose of this bee is to provide support, encouragement, and inspiration to the longarmers within the guild. Contact Fran Scher at fmkess@gmail.com if interested in joining.
