New Arrivals and Details of our March Sale!

Fauna & Flora

March is just around the corner, and we are already looking forward to Spring! With the birds singing and daffodils blooming, our thoughts are turning toward bright colors, and sweet pastels, and new quilt projects to brighten up our surroundings!


Classic Reds

If you visit the shop, you will not be disappointed with the selection of fabrics, patterns, and other delights to help you achieve the goal of finishing those Spring projects. This week, we have received a shipment of some gorgeous fabrics called Fauna and Flora and they are beautiful and bright! We also received Classic Neutrals and Classic Reds some of which have a wonderful reproduction flavor. We have received a few more batiks to add to our ever-growing selection and some Earth Spirit which are beautiful in naturescapes.

20100TO

And, just in, "Turnovers" from Moda in a gorgeous new line called Patisserie -- these are absolutely scrumptious! Turnovers are simply 6" squares cut into half-square triangles. These sets have 2 each of 40 different fabrics to make a total of 80 half-square triangles. We will also be getting some of these fabrics on the bolt as soon as they are released for shipment from Moda. And to make your decision even easier about what to do with these sweet "Turnovers", we have Joanna Figueroa's new book, The Pastry Shoppe, which features 6 different quilt patterns using the Patisserie Turnovers.

Our sale for the month of March is 20% off the legendary Kaffe Fassett's stripes! These fabrics are so versatile and we hear that many are no longer available. So, now is a perfect time to get some. The week of St. Patrick's Day, we will have a select group of green fabrics at 20% off and, of course, Gloria's pick is 15% off for the entire month. Make sure you keep checking here for all the latest updates! And, if you would like to share photos of your finished projects, email them to us and we will put them in our online gallery for all to see!

Come in and see what the "buzz" is all about! We love seeing your smiling faces!

Highlights from the Super Bowl (I mean the Super Bowl Sale)!

Super Bowl Sat 2009 SBI

We had a terrific time on Saturday with our Annual Super Bowl Sale! It was a gorgeous, sunny day outside, and just as sunny on the inside, with so many of our dear customers coming by to shop! The shop was all a-buzz with the delightful sound of excited chatter. Beautiful fabrics, beautiful friends, and so much inspiration -- what more could you ask for?

Super Bowl Saturday at Sew Bee It

We worked hard all day cutting fabric, picking out patterns and books, and helping you all choose new projects to work on for the coming weeks. Martha Steele even taught her photo transfer class in the midst of all the excitement! When all was said and done, we had a record-breaking day!

At the end of the day, look where we found Gloria! All curled up on the couch with one of her cozy quilts!

Gloria On The Couch after the big sale

If you were not able to make it in on Saturday, we missed you! Stop by and see all our new fabric, patterns, and, of course, our Janome sewing machines. We still have a few machines that have been drastically reduced! They won't last long at these prices. We also have our quarterly class schedule ready for you to pick up.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your support and want you to know that we truly appreciate you! You are blessing to each of us!
