Thursday Night Bee
|
 The
Thursday Night Bees meets on the first Thursday of each
month at various members homes. Our group consists of
new and experienced quilters with varying tastes in quilts.
Activities include group projects, block swaps, nursing home
quilts, Christmas stockings, outings and a couple of
retreats during the year. |

The Thursday Night Bee has been very busy
this year as was evidenced at the May guild meeting.
The Bee turned in over 40 lap quilts for the nursing home as
well as Linus. Most of the Bee members are working on a
Star Sprinkle exchange to take place at the October 2009
meeting--40 each of two different blocks. Which has
caused a little bit of grief for some of the members--a
couple are completely finished with their 80 blocks, some
haven't started yet and then a couple of members made the
wrong block... And I refuse to name names.
 We
also have a couple of members who have turned back the clock
and are sewing with hand cranked machines--ask Linda and
Michelle about their new passion. For a couple of
months we will work on our own projects and then in August
or September have our Christmas Stocking frenzy.
Then you're probably going to want to
know WHERE Michelle was quilting! How about out in a
field while her husband was flying model airplanes!
Now that is a dedicated wife and quilter. Go Michelle!

 Members
of the Thursday Night Bee were photographed in Nita's back
yard showing the many quilts being donated to the guild.
Pictured are Michelle, Carolyn, Nancy, Connie, Mariet and
Linda. Nita is in front. Pictured are about 20
of the 38 quilts turned in at the May Guild meeting. |
 The
Thursday Night Bee had a male visitor at their regular Bee
meeting--Flat Fold Chris. He has been
visiting Gail and has even helped her at work taking
x-rays. He didn't say too much, but was delighted
that there was a quilt just his size.

Members of the Thursday Night Bee really
enjoyed themselves at the strip workshop put on by the
Ladies of the Night. We stripped, ate, learned a new
block, ate some more, learned another new block, made a few
blocks, and then ate some more. Great job, Ladies of
the Night. |

hosted by the Ladies of the Night! What were they
drinking? Pictured left to right; Ann, Gail, Linda,
Michelle and Betty. |
Linda finishes up her block. Was that 'pole
dancing'?? |
Somebody must have scared Gail with their choice of fabric
Why is Connie all by herself? |
