August - September Newsletter
We have just mailed the newsletter for August and September. Since our website is currently 'parked' at GoDaddy.com, we are going to list the information here for now. The summer has been very busy and we are still wondering exactly how it is that August is already here. I am not ready for back to school, let alone the thought that we are only 5 months from Christmas! I hope that you will enjoy what we have planned for the next 2 months and take advantage of our $5 Gift Certificate for class supplies with each PAID class registration. We would like to encourage you to join us for a class - it is great to learn a new technique and also fellowship with other sew-ers. We always have a great time and we look forward to having you join us!
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Deb Carey to our staff. Deb joined us in April and attended Viking Convention with us in June. We are excited to have her at SEW BIZ and we know that you will enjoy getting to know Deb. She is going to let me know about this, but I just have to share this with you. As soon as the new Designer Diamond sewing machines arrived, Deb was excited to take one home. Even with the threat of rain, she put the top down on her little red car and stuffed it in so that she could 'play' with it over the week-end. What a woman will do to take home a Diamond??!!
I had intended to post the pictures of the class projects; however, for some reason tonight this site will not allow me to upload pictures. So I beg you to return on Wednesday and hopefully the pictures will be uploaded of the classes and other things going on at SEW BIZ. I am sorry. I have take the pictures, edited them and had them ready to uploaded but Blogger is not happy with something.
Come back soon!

Learn to bind inside corners with ease while making this simple table topper. (It is the same technique used to make a scalloped border.) Made with 5” charm squares, this project goes together quickly, yet it’s unusual shape gives it a unique character. Even if you don’t need another table topper, you will want to make this one.
