Quilters' Gatherings, also known as quilting bees, are social events where quilters come together to work on their projects. They often involve the sharing of ideas and techniques, as well as the exchange of fabric and other supplies. Quilting bees can be held in a variety of settings, from a person's home to a community center or church hall. The term 'bees' is derived from the idea that quilters work together like bees in a hive.
