We're glad you came to visit, we hope you find out what we, the Busy Bee
Quilters Guild are doing, as well as information about community events,
local businesses, and I hope you find a richness of quilt knowledge that
would benefit and augment your own quilting skills! Again Welcome!![]() Click BEE to go to a printable Raffle Quilt Flyer ![]() |

This would not take the place of the evening meeting, but would be in addition to the night group. All members of the guild and guests would be welcome to come to either or both meetings? When? The same day as the evening meeting, third Thursday of the month, from 12:30 to 3:00 PM. Why? This would benefit members that are unable to come to night meetings, & stay-at-home moms can come to the meeting & meet their children as they get out of school. Many of our members have expressed the need for a day group, as driving at night is difficult. We must remember that our guild is 26 years old & the younger members that started the group are now in their 50s & 60s. Some may be working now, but in a few years would welcome a day group.There would be occasional joint meetings, i.e., Christmas Party and/or when outside speakers come & of course, the Birthday Party. I am asking for a one year trial starting in September, 2008. The group would develop as the year progresses. This would be a simple get-together as a general meeting, and encouraging members to bring their hand-sewing and the sharing of new and long-standing friendships. If you would like to help me start this group or if you have any ideas that you would like to share with me. Thank you, Becky Marshall edited by Carla

Box 26, Snohomish, WA 98291 Hello, my fellow Bees! At our most recent meeting (the Christmas Party potluck), it occurred to us that we’ve got some fabulous recipes to share. It was proposed that we put together a Busy Bees Cookbook, which I (in a moment of insanity) volunteered to take charge of. Regina Girard has generously volunteered to help me out... with her artistic talents we are sure to put together a terrific book! So, SEND ME YOUR RECIPES! I have set up a special email address to send them to: bbrecipes@yahoo.com. You can also hand them to me at the January meeting or send them snail mail (see BB Handbook for my address). Feel free to call me if you have any questions!Cornelia Gauger

Quilt Appraisals - New Links
Check
out the Links page, I've done some online
research, because several people have asked me who they could have
appraise their quilts, and or sell them. I've listed local
appraisers on the website. There are several resources,
information of why, by whom and how. There are books,
conservation, galleries, and a lot more information links, check it
out.
