Today I am reviewing a brand new book by Lindsay Conner called Modern Bee 13 Quilts to Make with Friends. Traditionally quilting bee's were an opportunity for quilters to get together and socialize around a common project. As our socializing nowadays often revolves around social media, a popular trend among quilters has become a modern quilting bee swap. This is where a group of quilters - usually around 12 - form a group and work together over a period of time to create a quilt for each member of the group.
I've participated in a few quilting bees with a group of 11 other quilters, including one right now. (Not to be confused with the Virtual Quilting Bee which is open to anyone.) It has been such a great way to try and learn new blocks, techniques, and skills, not to mention build real-life friendships with other women who share the same love for this hobby.
I frequently have people ask how to start a quilting Bee group or become part of one. Modern Bee is an excellent resource! Lindsay has written a wonderful book documenting her experience with 11 other modern quilters and their year of creating quilts as part of a Modern Quilting Bee. Throughout the book Lindsay gives practical advice about how to start your own Bee and how to run it most efficiently.
Even if you're not interested in starting a quilting Bee, the book also contains instructions for 13 different quilt patterns as well as thorough advice on quilting basics, such as choosing colors and fabrics, supplies, and construction.
As part of this introduction tour for Modern Bee, Lindsay has put together a fun gift bag filled with sewing goodies from Coats and Clark, FreeSpirit Fabrics, Olfa, Pellon and Timeless Treasures! To Enter, complete the Rafflecopter form for your chance to win.a Rafflecopter giveaway *Winner will be randomly selected after October 18, 2013 from all comments received. If the winner lives outside of the U.S., they'll win a Modern Bee e-Book of instead of the gift bag.

I've always wanted to be part of a bee, but I am slightly afraid I am too much of a control freak. I do love the social aspect of sewing though.
Tracy
No I have not been part of a quilting bee. But maybe someday! I'm working one a baby quilt for a gift!

I've never been a part of a Bee but I think it would be fun. I'm working on a quilt for my cousin's new baby, a quilt for my sister, and a Modern Trees quilt-along quilt right now!

Wow, great prize! I have never been in a bee before but I would like to try one day! I'm sewing a crib quilt for a friend's new baby right now!

I would love to know enough quilters to do something like this!<br />
Cornelia
I've never been part of a quilting bee before, but it seems like such a cool thing to do. I've loved following along with some Virtual Quilting bees, and I love seeing all of the different colors and interpretations. Right now I'm working on making toys for my kitten that are both indestructible and nice to look at in my apartment!
Kendra Fredrickson
I too would love to be a part of a quilting bee but I am unsure as where to start! Just think of all the information to share and learn from others that have the same passion for quilting!! Thanks for the give away!

I'm so intrigued by quilting bees and would really love to do one... once I am able to get my points more consistently precise. I would want anything I send to a bee-mate to be perfect, and I'm not sure I could guarantee that!

I've never done a bee and would love to participate in one, but fearful that with the two littles (a newborn and a toddler) I do not necessarily have the time.<br /><br />Right now I am working on several WIPs and am trying to get them out of the way in the craft room. So I am participating in the last quarter of the FAL... 🙂 Maybe when I finally finish some projects I can look into joining

I haven't participated in any quilting bee yet, but I'm seriously considering to join one. I need to stretch my "out of comfort" zones.
Debbie N.
I have never been part of a bee, but I think it would be a great bonding experience. I am currently working on finishing my daughters co-ordinating quilts for their beds. Then it's on to a quilt for my sister, one for my sister-in-law, one for my maid of honor, and some clothes for my girls in there as well.
Jennifer Barclay
I think a Bee would be a really fun next step for me. Right now my MQG is doing a sampler quilt and I'm enjoying that!
EmileeHope
I haven't done a bee before, I have done some swaps where we all mad x number of blocks and sent them all to one person who then sent one of each to each of us...I did two, both Christmas ones, and had lots of fun doing it. I would like to try a round robin bee someday!

Have never had a bee to join but seriously considering starting one. What a nice raffle prize!

I haven't done any bee sewing yet, but finding a bee once I'm a little more confident in my skills is on my to do list for the future.

I've never been in a bee yet; I think I'm still a little intimidated to have others counting on me, but it looks like the new book would be an amazing resource to get started.
Sarah Craig
I have been part of an on-line quilting bee - and my favorite quilt, made from the blocks generated by my turn in the bee, rests on my guest bed to welcome family and friends!
Melissa
I'm currently in an on-line bee and am eagerly awaiting my turn as queen. It's been fun sewing different blocks and trying out color combos I wouldn't choose for myself.
Cynthia
I would love love love to belong to a quilting bee! I've got all kinds of projects going on, smocked blessing gow, Quilty barn along, binding my paper doll quilt, making some Halloween pennants, working on designing a tee shirt quilt 🙂

Jodi - usairdoll
My quilting group did work together this summer and made a baby quilt for one of our member's daughter. Come to think of it we also made a quilt to be auctioned off for cancer research.

Sophia Carroll
I wish I could find a Bee in my area to join. It's difficult to even find a guild to attend. They all meet during weekday mornings, when a lot of younger people work.
Jessica
this book sounds great!! I live in Australia and would love to set up a quilting bee! <br />Jessica
Heidi Babi
I haven't been part of a bee before, but I bet my quilting group would love it! I am currently working on my first purse (it's only taken me three years so far...) and a pink and grey ladder quilt that I just love!

I love participating in quilting bees. I am involved with 2 over on Threadbias website. I enjoy making the block the Queen chooses. Sometimes ir's a challenge and sometimes not. I have been Queen in one them already. Oh boy, it was so much fun having all those blocks come way. Happy mail!

What a fun idea! I haven't ever done a quilting bee before either but how fun would that be!

Ive participated in one bee... it was not the best because the members were not fully engaged. I'm going to try again in Jan. hopefully it will be a better experience because it sounds like so much fun!
Mimi
Book looks great. And a virtual quilting bee sounds like a lo of fun!
Sabine Wright
I never participated in a bee, but the idea appeals to me, sew many different blocks instead of 20 or 30 of the same.

Bee swaps sound like so much fun! We are just forming a Modern Quilt Guild (tonight is our first meeting!) and I think a swap is something we should try this year! I would love to win- thanks for the chance!

What a great idea for a book! I'm like the Lone Quilter, because I don't really know anyone else who quilts "in real life," only those I've connected with on the Internet. There's a group of quilters at my church, but they are all MUCH older than me and they just sew tons of squares of whatever fabric is donated into quilts that they donate to charity -- a worthy

This is a really interesting post and I will be interested to read the book! As a quilter with no friends or family close who quilt, I very often feel quite alone in my trials and triumphs.

I was invited to be part of a bee, but turned it down because one woman in the group was a super-perfectionist and I knew my work would never live up to her standards. I would love to find a group with who were more forgiving!
Janet M
I belong to a community quilting group that meets once a week but we haven't collaborated on a quilt since I've been in the group. I did sew some blocks for some charity quilts for women's shelters in Grand Rapids, Michigan but I'll probably never see the finished product. I think it would be fun to 'Bee'!

I have not been able to join a sewing or quilting bee yet. I just retired, but live out in the country. I did survey my friends and family to see who sews and who wants to sew. May get into a block sway or pin cushion swap or something fun.<br />crystalbluern at onlineok dot com

I don't or haven't ever been in an actual quilting bee. I remember as a kid going to one, but we moved to South Texas from Alabama and they didn't have them where we lived in Texas. I LOVE sewing and embroidering. I do a lot of crafts and make handbags using my own patterns. I do piece quilts, but haven't been at it long, so I am still considered a beginner even though I do

My small quilt group works on quilts together. My favorite was a medallion quilt where we each added a "round" in an order chosen at random. We had a bag of civil war print fabrics from a member, added more of our own and made a great quilt.

Thank you for this post. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book by Lindsay Conner! Besides, being in the Virtual Quilting Bee, I just finished the assembling of a top from a BLOCK SWAP called Butterflies in a Garden (https://debi-peacebypiece.blogspot.com/2013/10/butterflies-in-garden-fenced-in.html). Receiving blocks from all over the world was exciting, & putting them together was easy,

I have never been in a quilting bee. Right now, I am making some baby quilts for charity.

I have not been a part of a bee before and I am very interested. I'm not quite sure if there are any in my area.<br />cecinbritt (at) yahoo (dot) com

I've always wanted to be part of a quilting bee but worry about being stretched too thin. I will have to take a look at this book when I have the opportunity. 🙂
