What's this? The
Bees In The Attic bee hive met at the
Attic Window Quilt Shop on Wednesday. Do you know how a Bee Hive works? Twelve people get together to form a hive. Each month one of them takes a turn being the Queen. The Queen gets to choose the block from the book we have chosen to work from. Then the next month the rest of the members of the hive create that block in the colors the Queen desires and presents that block to the queen on the following month. I felt it necessary to explain this because some of the other people who come into the shop thought this group involved working on the computer and were confused about Instagram. This came up after a previous post about the group. I just wanted to let everyone know that there is no need for a computer to participate in a hive. That being said, in the picture above Queen for this past month holds up a piece of flannel so the rest of the bees can place their blocks on it. Kathy thought this would be helpful instead of laying them on the floor. She was so right!
Above, Queen Caroll (me) displays her blocks from the members of the group.
This is a closeup of all the lovely blocks! A special thank you to the group for my blocks. I can't wait to put this quit together!
Above is Peggy who is Queen for this upcoming month. Peggy gave us all some beautiful fabric to use when making her blocks.

I'm glad you explained how a bee works. I did not know this. Your blocks will be a delightful quilt that will make you feel happy every time you see it and use it. It's very good to be the Queen of anything and everything!
