Kansas was the brainchild of Katy Vickers
(QOV member since November 2004) and Cassandra Carson (QOV
member since October 2005.) The Bee officially started in February 2006
with only 4 members. After the semi-annual PQG show in June of 2006,
the membership exploded. The first few months the new Bee had to jump
around from site to site looking for a place to work. In August of
2006, Asbury United Methodist Church opened it's
doors to the Kansas Bee, and allowed it to have a home there through
2008. In January 2009 we moved to "The Green Zone" at Scholfield Honda.
It is the old showroom that was renovated with all green
materials, from the carpet up, and allows us a very nice meeting space,
with storage cabinets for our supplies. As of February 2011 we will be
meeting on the Second Saturday every month at Tyler Road Baptist
Church, located at 571 S. Tyler Road, just off of Kellogg/54 in west
Wichita.
The goal behind QOV Kansas is to provide a way to get more people involved in making QOVs on a local scale. With the obligations of hearth and home, it is hard to find time to make an entire quilt top by yourself. By joining the Bee, you have the opportunity to work with others to complete what otherwise would be difficult to do alone. The advantage of joining the Bee is being able to draw on the knowledge of life long quilters. Even if you don't know how to sew a stitch, you are welcome if you are wanting to learn and lend a helping hand. We especially encourage youth and teens to become involved!
