a quilting bee is where a group of people get together, sit around a quilt in a frame and hand quilt the project until finished. I may take hours to days depending on the size. This makes a big job a lot faster. You do however have to contend with the difference in stiching from each participant.
Hope this helps! I do both, send some hand quilt some.
