🐝 Small Groups
Small groups make guild meetings warmer and more fun.
Small Groups (or Quilting Bees) are an intimate, informal way to quilt with others. Anyone can start a group! The Beekeeper helps match members with similar interests or locations.
📧 To form a group or add members, email beekeeper@qgplano.org — we’ll connect you.
