Blanket Bees

Blanket bees are a day of blanketmaking for sewists, quilters, knitters and crocheters.
If you sew: bring a sewing machine, scissors, threaded bobbins and neutral thread. We will supply quilt kits, batting and backing fabric.
If you crochet or knit: bring your Project Linus afghan to work on.
