Color Mastery Book Tour

We are so excited to announce that Sew Bee It is going to be hosting author of Color Mastery, Maria Peagler, at our shop next Thursday, April 30 at 6:30pm as part of her Georgia Book Tour. Maria will be sharing how you can master the color in your quilts and where to spot the best color trends. Color Mastery takes a unique approach never before seen in a quilting book. Maria has taken artistic principles and coupled them with simple quilts, for gorgeous projects any quilter can make. With Color Mastery, you can take ordinary fabrics already in your stash and turn them into simple quilts with sophisticated color relationships. You will be able to overcome your frustration and fear of color combinations in your quilts. She will also be signing copies of her book for you! We would love for you to call ahead and reserve your copy of Color Mastery so we will have enough on hand.

Take a look at the Color Mastery website and learn more about Maria and her fantastic new quilting book! No matter what your level of quilting experience, this promises to be an event you don't want to miss!

This is a free event! Invite your best quilting friends and let's make it a party!

Upcoming Classes

We have some amazing classes in the works taught by the most amazing teachers! Grael Ruiz will be teaching her paper piecing class using this gorgeous quilt pattern! If you think the photo is beautiful, just wait til you come in to see it hanging in our classroom!



Martha Steele will be teaching her Memory Quilt class again this quarter. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with to put in their quilts. Can you tell who this quilt was made for by looking at the photos in it? We'll give you a hint...she is just as elegant now as she was when these photos were taken!

Show and Share from our Customers!

We have such amazing customers! With sewing becoming more popular with the younger generation (Yay!), we have seen a huge resurgence of young moms sewing for their children. I know that I (Susie), personally, loved to sew for my children when they were still small enough to want the clothes I would make for them! Now that they are older, I am enjoying sewing for my friends' little girls and teaching others to do the same.

Terri and Amanda are two such moms who love making beautiful outfits for their girls!



Terri made this gorgeous dress and matching ruffle pants for Alayna using fabric from our shop and Sandi Henderson's Portabello Pixie Pattern, Claire. She is adorable, Terri!



Amanda made this vintage-style apron for Sydney from our Quiltworks Delilah fabric! She is so sweet! Can't you see these on all the little girls in your life? If only they could stay this small!



And, for fun, look at Alayna in her 70's retro outfit. She had 70's day at school and her mommy embellished her outfit with Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks fabric plus made her a matching head band. We think she looks groovy, baby!

We know that sewing for our children is another way we can tangibly show our love for them! You ladies keep up the terrific work!

And if any of you are interested in learning more about sewing children's clothing, give us a call or email! We would be happy to plan a class and add it to our new class schedule!

New Arrivals and Details of our March Sale!

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!

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.

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!
