I taped a Fons and Porter show Saturday and haven't gotten a chance to watch the whole thing through yet... But because quilting technology has changed over time, quilting bees are nearly non-existent... So the show was about creating a Cutting Bee, where everyone brings fabric to the meeting, and strips are cut in 2.5 or 4.5 width. Then exchanges are made of strips....
It looked like fun.... Maybe the next meet and greet can be a cutting bee.
