This year FOMB received 61 entries from 36 Minnesota counties. In the last 2 years, they have received entries from 51 Minnesota counties.

On Saturday, January 23rd, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Maplewood Historical Society is hosting a quilting bee at the farmhouse at Bruentrup Heritage Farm, in Maplewood (this is the second event in the series, the first having been held in November).
Because of the high amount of interest from attendees in needlework (besides quilting), it was decided that needlework would also be featured in addition to quilting, since there was some interest from folks in that area. Quilters and anyone into needlework (including crocheting, stitching) are welcome to attend.
