A student is writing a report about quilting for social studies. Read the paragraph and complete the task:

Long ago, people would organize parties called "quilting bees." At a quilting bee, individuals would share stories while they sewed their pieces of fabric together. By working together, these quilters could create a quilt more quickly than if each quilter were working alone. Sometimes, they had to quit early because they ran out of candles. Swapping stories helped pass the time and provided some entertainment. Today, people still enjoy quilting with friends.
