I am starting a new bee called, "QUILTING newBEEs". It is geared towards new quilters (like myself) but any skill level is welcome. I am from OH but anyone in the US is welcome to join. You can go to the flickr group page here:
www.flickr.com/groups/quiltingnewbees/ Also, please message me if you would like to join the group. We already have 4 members. Thanks!
