Our Quilting Month is underway! The theme this year is all about the stories carried in the quilts we own and how we can weave our story into the quilts we make! The idea for this came to me when reading an article about how there were very few female scribes in ancient times. So much about women and their everyday lives have been lost to history. And yet, there's more than one way to record a story. So here we are!

March 5th: Share Your Quilt Story
Sharing your quilt story on social media will be encouraged all through out Quilting month, but there will be specific prompts for Quilting Bee Society members each Wednesday.
March 7th: Weaving Your Story Into Your Quilts
Over on the Lindley blog, I'll be sharing about something I've been doing for a long time. I call it subtle symbolism. It's all about weaving meaningful details into a project that are not necessarily noticeable to anyone looking at the quilt. This article will also cover why I love doing this!
