I wanted to post a Vlog today, but I didn’t have enough time to figure it out. Instead I wrote this up, although it is technically being posted after 12am, I think it still counts as the 15th seeing as how I did try to video it already..

Today (December 15th!) is Annual Quilting Bee Blog Day! The Quilting Bee is an online club that I am so glad to have found. I have been a member for almost a year and a half now, and I wish I would have joined sooner!

I first found the quilting bee several years ago, but I didn’t join right away. I would always check out members’ blogs by checking out the member list, and one day it occured to me to sign up so that I could actually meet these people that I had admired from afar. Each member in the club trades pixel patches with one another, so we collect patches and make our quilts. We also participate in many themed club activities.

My favorite part of being a quilting bee member is the sense of community that comes with it. I have met so many wonderful people just by being active on our forums. Some of us chat daily, showing off pictures of pets or asking for advice. No one is EVER rude, and it is so great to have such a wonderful group of people to call my friends! This year some of us sent winter holiday cards out to each other.. I sent out over 20 and I look forward to receiving them too. I will proudly display my cards that come from all over the world, all from my considerate and funny friends from the club!

This year’s entry was short and sweet, but I’m sure there will be many more to come.
