About Sew Bee Blissful

********************THE SIGNUPS FOR THIS BEE ARE CLOSED******************
This is an international quilting bee set up by me, Jenna of SewHappyGeek. I'm looking for 11 dependable participants. We will kick off in August 2011. Anyone from anywhere is welcome to join, as long as you're absolutely sure you can commit for a year.

My quilt will be donated to Project Linus UK, which gives donated quilts to children affected by head injuries. If you participate, you are NOT required to give your quilt to charity. I would just like a bit of help with my charity quilt, that's all ;)

If you are interested in joining, please email me at jenna (at) sewhappygeek.co.uk
These are the requirements:

You must have an active Flickr account
You must be sure you can commit to 2 blocks per month for a year.
You must be able to post your fabrics internationally if necessary for your month.
You don't have to have previous bee experience, and if you do, please be comfortable with providing guidance or help to a new bebe if necessary.

Here's how it would work:
You pick a month (I'll put the Google doc link here soon) and at the first of your month, you post out fabrics to the others, along with directions about what kind of blocks you want them to make. More about that in a discussion.
The others make your blocks and post them back. It is up to you whether to let others 1) keep what's left over and 2) use fabrics from their own stash in your blocks if they desire.
