The 10 members of Bee Sewcial share our progress and work on Instagram - look for the #beesewcial hashtag, and please feel free to follow along using #inspiredbybeesewcial as we head into 2017 and a third year of creating.

I intend to finish both of my quilts from this bee in the coming year, hopefully even in Q1. Stay tuned!
