Here's the Buzz from Sew Bee It Quilt Shop

May 7, 2021

Welcome to the Buzz....

Happy Mother's Day to all our quilting Moms.

Here it is May already, time to make plans for the summer months ahead. Last year, we were closed, open for curbside and mail delivery only.

How great it is to be open, and seeing our

regular quilting ladies out and about.

We are still requiring masks, hope they will no longer be necessary as we get closer to summer.

We had a great turn out for our Anniversary, and we're ready to take on another year and all the surprises that come with it.

This newsletter may be short, but there are a few things we wanted you to know.

See you soon!

We are excited to announce that we will be participating in the All Kansas & Nebraska Shop Hop in Spring of 2022. We are looking forward to joining with other shops in Kansas and Nebraska to offer this event.

Watch for updates and announcements. Over 75 shops have signed up, and more are joining everyday.

Check out the facebook page at All Kansas Nebraska Shop Hop.

Here's What's Coming Up

We will be sending out Block 2 of the Cruise the Caribbean BOM today! We have some extra kits if you would like to sign up. Call to signup or reserve your blocks. Blocks can be mailed. This is a 9 month program with a finishing kit. Cost will be $10 per month.

We now carry the Bloc Loc Rulers. These rulers are great for making precise half square triangles. Stop in today for your demonstration.

We have three sizes: 2 1/2", 4 1/2" and 6 1/2".

Get one today to use with your Cruise the Caribbean Block of the Month program. We would be happy to include one in your package. They are also available on our website: sewbeeitquiltshop.com

We had several of our Breakfast Club members stop by our Drop In Breakfast Club in April. We were so pleased that we could visit with everyone and catch up on your news. It was one year since we had last met. Unfortunately, we will not be hosting Breakfast Club until fall. Watch for news later this summer.

One of our regular Breakfast Club members brought projects to show us. A variety of projects for St. Patrick's day and stitchery for the spring.

Can you guess who this was?

Carol Weber of Bruning. We would love to post your projects, just send us your photos.

We have several quilts that will be presented during the Fourth of July Celebration in Hebron, and other celebrations throughout the county this summer. We have quilts that need binding if anyone would like to stop by and pick one up. We would also be happy to put together a quilt kit if you would like to quilt from home. Our Saturday Thayer County group will not be meeting over the summer. We would be happy to host quilters during the week. Just let us know what days or evenings would work best.

Beginning in June,

we may not be open on every Saturday.

Please call ahead to see if the shop is open.

We will be open for

advertised events such as our Heartland Shop Hop.

Summer is a good time for Rhonda and I to spend time with our families and do some traveling to see family and friends.

I am enjoying the new longarm machine and all the options that it gives me. I have finished several quilts, and have some Quilts of Valor to quilt for summer presentations. If you are interested in our long arm services, give me a call. Free estimates.
