Social Sewing Bee

for Giving Quilts

(Meeting in North Seattle)

Bee is derived from the Old English bēn meaning “a prayer, a favor.” 

By the late eighteenth century, bee had become commonly associated with the 

British dialect form, been or bean, referring to the joining of neighbors to work on a single activity to help a neighbor in need: sewing bee, quilting bee, etc. (dictionary.com)

Join in a sewing bee with other guild members to work on giving quilts for our community. We will be using the “Shining Star Quilt Pattern” from Suzy Quilts. The guild purchased copies of the pattern and will provide the pattern, along with fabrics donated to SEAMQG. Come and make one block or several and/or help sew blocks together.

We'll bring the fabric.

If you want to go rogue, bring your own fabric to play with the pattern. Hint - contrast is key!

Please bring: 

• Sewing Machine
• Thread (black, white, red, maybe a gray for blending)
• Cutting Mat / Rotary Cutter / 24” ruler
• Iron / Will coordinate ironing boards
• Bring a lunch, or use a local restaurant in the area

Come for the whole day or drop-in for a portion of the time.

Location:  Seattle Mennonite Church, (Lake City)
3120 NE 125th St, Seattle

Parking lot is behind the church with easy access to the Meeting room. 

Meeting Host: Ann Marchand

We hope you'll join us!
