I used to attend Quilting Bee's atchurch with my Grandmother. The men had set up a frame like this one for the ladies in one of the rooms. They also had barrels of donated fabric and clothing to recycle into quilt blocks. They also had a couple of sewing machines and several tables. On the days that the gathered to quilt they would bring there best recipes for the potluck lunch. I can still hear those ladies sewing on their machines and laughing with each other.
