Small Groups
Small Groups (or Quilting Bees) are a great way to get together with other quilters in a more intimate and informal atmosphere for friendship, conversation, and quilting. They make attending our monthly meetings more enjoyable, as you will begin to recognize familiar faces. Anyone can set up a small group. Each group decides its size and focus. The Beekeeper is available to help members with similar interests or locations find each other. If you are interested in forming a group or adding members to your group, email the beekeeper@qgplano.org. She will contact you and help connect you with other members.

Art Quilters of Plano (AQOP)
The Art Quilters of Plano meet on the 2nd Saturday of each month at 9:00am at Fabric Fanatics. There are no membership requirements—simply an interest in Art quilting and a desire to learn. Our typical meeting starts with sharing our completed artwork, often employing a technique or challenge from a previous meeting. We follow that with a demo or workshop provided by our members.
Contact Rose-Clair Fletcher or Aurora Chancy for more information. You can also visit our Facebook page.
