Montessa Mini Bee 2024

November 16, 2024 – cloudy – ☁️ 61°

Quilters from the Montessa community in Gold Canyon invited the AZ Blankets 4 Kids Board out for their first Bee. The weather was overcast and started out a little chilly; perfect weather for staying inside and making blankets for our kids. We had a total of 30 volunteers whirring on bindings, hand tying, quilting and piecing tops.

Our hosts provided yummy treats in the morning as well as a delicious salad luncheon. After lunch we had a lovely Fall themed gift basket (made by our lovely Letty Fowell) go to Rita Gengler. The 50/50 raffle took in $97, not bad for a smaller group hosting their first Bee! Our own Sylvia Saffell won the 50/50 but generously donated her winnings to our hosts for the purchase of fabric. We had a wonderful time and made new friends. We hope they’ll have us back again next year.

Bee by the numbers: 33 blankets were finished during this Bee! Impressive!
