Quilt Show and Bee Hive.

The Cal-Co Quilt show is THIS weekend. Saturday and Sunday 10-4 at the Marshall High School. We're really excited to be at this new venue where we have more control over the temperatures and elements. This quilt show feels special to me because it marks my anniversary at the sewing shop. Hope we'll see you there. 701 N. marshall Ave. Marshall, MI. 49068.

Secondly, we are forming a modern Quilting Bee Group at Sew Unique.

Modern Bee by Lindsay Conner.

Modern quilting is taking the quilting world by storm. Modern quilting is best identified by it's simplicity and open spaces. This Bee will be a block swap. Each month there will be a "Queen" who will receive a quilts worth of blocks .

Each member will make the requested block chosen by that month's Queen plus a signature block. We will be working from the book "Modern Bee". The Queen will select a pattern from the book and provide her specifics to the other Hive members. She may also provide fabric if she wishes.

Just a few shots of the quilts in the book.

We will exchange emails and text numbers so if there is a question of fabric or color the Queen can weigh in.

This is a fun way to ease into the modern quilting world and a great way to connect with other quilters!! The hives will form and start in September if your interested call and let us know so we can add you to our list!!

I hope summer is finding all of you sweet sewists doing well.

Happy, gardening, swimming, picnicking...and sewing!

Love,

Jessie and Sue.
