Celebrating "Cotton Week" at Sew Bee It

National Cotton Week

Martha found this wonderful vintage sign in the local Cracker Barrel and you know us, we love a good sale! So in the spirit of celebrating "National Cotton Week" here at Sew Bee It, we are having a sale!

Beginning tomorrow, May 16 through Saturday, May 24 we will offer a 15% discount on all batting, fabric (minimum one-yard-cut), and fat quarters!

Come out and celebrate cotton with us!

We also wanted to remind everyone that our classroom is available for use to get together with your friends to sew. It is always inspiring to see what others are doing. Just give us a call to check ahead that there is not a class going on.

Hope to see you this week!

Color Mastery Event was a huge success!

Color Mastery author comes to Sew Bee It.

Thanks so much to all of you who came out to Maria Peagler's Color Mastery book signing! What an overwhelming response! We had 71 ladies to attend this fun event. I would say that most, if not all, of us learned something new.

Susie's Color Mastery Quilt

I know I did! Here is the quilt sample I, Susie, made from the first project in Maria's book. It is using an analagous color harmony. Maria explained each of the projects in the book and let us see her samples and then talked about other things such as how to spot the latest color trends, and how to challenge yourself to think beyond what you would typically choose to add variety to our stash and our quilts.

It is always fun to hear from a guest speaker and fellowship with one another over beautiful fabric and delicious sweets! We are looking forward to planning more special events like this one. If you weren't able to attend, take a look at the Color Mastery website and learn more about Maria and her fantastic new quilting book!
