Social Sewing Bee

for

Community Outreach Quilt

(Meeting in Tukwila)

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 the community outreach quilt or come to be social and work on your own project. We will be providing material for the community outreach quilt for the Modern Quilt Guild. Come and make one strip set or several. 

Please bring: 

• Sewing Machine
• Thread (purple/eggplant or dark colored)
• Iron (if you prefer your own)
• Bring a lunch, or use a local restaurant in the area
• • Coffee and Tea are provided courtesy of Quality Sewing and Vacuum
• A project or two if you aren't planning to work on a strip set

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