After cutting fabric for your quilt, cut the
remaining fabrics into strips the size you use for bindings.
These leftover strips can then be used on your next scrap quilt
project.

Quilting Bees
Bees are truly the "heart" of the guild. Our
Bees range from 2 to 15 people in size, with an average of
8. West Houston Quilter's Guild has around 20 Bees. Bees
generally meet at member's homes or public place to share
fellowship and their love of quilting. Each group determines
its own scope and purpose. Anyone can start a Bee, and you
may belong to as many as your energy and commitment allow;
all guild members are encouraged to join in the fun.
Lasting friendships form inside Bees. They often take on
quilting projects as a group. This page is devoted to those
projects, to show off what we have accomplished, and inspire
other groups to try new things. If your Bee would like to
have photos of a project or activity to show off please
contactthe Beekeeper or the WebMistress
For information about any of the bees below
or if you are interested in starting a new bee please
contact the Bee Keeper - Lillie Hays select
BEEKEEPER as the subject. Save time, complete the
BEE INTEREST FORM and give it
to Lillie at the next meeting.
