July 1st is almost here!

Tomorrow is July 1st and the beginning of Row By Row Experience!  This is going to be so much fun this summer.  For complete details, click here.  Also take time to read my previous Blog Post.  I promised you a picture of our row when we had it made into a finished sample.  Well here it is! 


I LOVE it!  Well after all it is Red and White and Hearts so what's not to love?  So even if you do not want to make it into the Row by Row Quilt, you can pick up the pattern and kit and have a beautiful table runner.  The kit includes the pre-cut fabrics for the center section.  The piano key borders are something that you can add if you choose.  Get your route planned out and be sure to stop at SEW BIZ as you go ROW BY ROW this summer!  Visit our website.

Summertime Fun!

We have sew many exciting things happening this summer at SEW BIZ, I don't know how I am going to be able to keep up with them all!  Seriously, I have people say to me "I bet things are really slow in your business right now, huh?"  REALLY?  Come hang out with us for a day.  No way!  We are having trouble getting time to even get our class schedule nailed down and June is almost gone!  Every.Single.Day the FedEx truck and the UPS truck drop off more beautiful fabric.  It is now overflowing and I don't have a clue where we are going to put the beautiful border print oriental fabric that arrived today.

We have ROW by ROW Experience that begins Tuesday, July 1 and runs through Sept. 2nd.  Read about it at our website.  This is going to be great fun.  It is a nation wide shop hop of sorts. Here is a picture or our Row.  It is a FREE Pattern that is available when you stop in the store and there is also a Kit available for the row.  As soon as we have our Row made into a table runner and quilted, I will share that with you!

Fun for everyone.  Most of the participating stores also have Fabric Plates with creative quilt related sayings.  Stop in to get your fabric plate from SEW BIZ and begin collecting them on your summer outings.  We love our plate!  What do you think? 
And ... just because we have the great opportunity of participating in the CELEBRATION of the Quilters Hall of FAME, we have a very special fabric plate that will be available July 14 - 19th during the Annual Celebration!  Here it is...complete with Fireworks in honor of the month of July Celebration.
Don't miss CELEBRATION!  We will have lots going on in our store July 14 -19th and did I mention a FABRIC SALE???

To kick off the Celebration week, we are hosting Eleanor Burns (2012 QHF Inductee) and Sue Bouchard for a Wild and Wacky Beach Party.  Here are the details.  You must join us for this Fun Event!  I would say "No Swim Suit Required" but that could get us into some real trouble.  It is going to be sew much fun, laughs galore and I would love to tell you more but we have a MYSTERY ACTIVITY planned that you are sure to love and I can't spoil it!

Have a great week-end and we look forward to seeing you soon!
