the invite

Noun

1.

quilting bee - a gathering to make quilts bee - a social gathering to carry out some communal task or to hold competitions

you are invited to join a virtual quilting bee!


here's how it works:
12 women, 12 months, 144 squares...


each month we'll be working on a different participant's quilt. when it's your month to receive squares, feel free to specify colors, theme, or pattern. each member will create a 12x12 square for you from their stash. if you have something more specific in mind, send your fabric to each member at the beginning of your month. some of you are near and some are far, but shipping should be minimal. at the end of your month you will have 12 completed squares to use however you'd like.


once we have a firm count on who's interested we'll work out a schedule for the year.


we also want to blog our progress. we've reserved the domain 12squared.blogspot.com. it'll be fun to see everyone's work.
