2014/2015 Bee Dates For Your Diaries!

Here are the dates from September for The Wendover Sewing Bee. We will be at St Anne's on Tuesday mornings and Tuesday evenings once a month. There will be no Bee in August. As ever this is a drop in Bee, just £4 on the door and unlimited tea and coffee and biccies. Bring your own project and make some new friends or catch up with old.

See you on the 9th Sept

Inspirational Teens

We took delivery of a lovel;y collection of fabrics called Emmy Grace, inspired by the designers daughters and it reminded me of another Grace from a conversation at the Bee this week with  Caroline Mailes-Graham about her lovely teenage daughter Grace who is getting her gorgeous long hair shorn to be donated to children who are cancer sufferers to make wigs.

Those of you who know Caroline, know that this is a very dear topic, close to their hearts and I wanted to share the just giving site link here at justgiving.com in case you also wanted to encourage an inspiring teen making a very grown up sacrifice. Good on you Grace x

Cathedral Windows

Getting ready for the class and have made this little dotty pin cushion as an example of the technique. Added a nice mustard coloured button from Nana B's old button tin :)

Thank you ladies.........

Can you spot any of your fabric from the Sewing Bee Swap Shop?

My husband suggested some bunting would brighten up the summer house.  (He is full of good ideas!) So on a very rainy Saturday morning with fabric goodies from the swap shop at the ready, the bunting was made.  Then a quick dash in the rain to put it up, hooray, the sun then came out. My husband would now like new cushions!!

News & Notices Page

Just a little note to draw your attention to a new page of the website where we will post any sewing related items for sale or free to good home as we often get approached by local people with a sewing machine or fabric to re-home. In the spirit of our recent fabric swap, one wo(mans) trash is anothers treasure so if there's something on the page you can re-home the contact details are there for you to get in touch with the owner.

Happy Swappers

Thanks to everyone who came along, squashed in and swapped, lets do it again soon! Hope your new stash is inspiring lots of fab sewing, 

Don't forget Jennie is in the Workroom next Thursday so even if you aren't ready for a long arm appointment feel free to pop in for a cuppa and a browse and see what everyone else is planning. It should be a fun day x
