Well hello there!
Welcome to the very first day of
Spelling Bee School...
also known as
Spelling Bee Saturday:)
Join me for school each Saturday!
We will be sewing projects from the book
and even creating some new ones...
using some of the 100 blocks.
Yes...I said 100!
After just 44 weeks of sewing together ...
you will officially be a graduate of the Spelling Bee School:)
YaY!
I'm super excited to be doing
a sew along for my latest book...
Spelling Bee
So let's start by talking about
what we will be doing "in class"
and what "school supplies"
you will need:)
First of all...
you will of course need
a copy of
Miss Bee's instruction book.
if you need one:)
Second of all you will need your
sewing supplies and lots of
fun happy fabrics to sew along with us:)
You will need to pack your own lunch...
and you can sit by whomever
you would like to during class!
Our schedule is an easy one ...
because you get to choose
what you would like to
study and learn!
Each Saturday we will be
focusing on a few blocks.
You can decide what you
want to do with those blocks...
using the book and other
participants for inspiration:)
Also...Miss Bee just may
have a few tutorials planned
for you as well!
You may choose to make the
Spelling Bee Sampler
that's on the cover of the book...
(above photo is from back when
I was sewing my sampler for the book)
Or you may choose any of the
other quilts in the book....
it's up to you!
You can also choose to
make some of the mini quilts...
Or just a few of the letters
to focus on a favorite subject...
Or several to make a favorite saying!
I made soooo many of my
Spelling Bee "Flash Cards" ...
And this stack is just a few!!
That means that I can spell out
whatever I want...
whenever I want:)
There are so many projects
in the book to choose from...
and what's fun about that is you get to choose to make just one...
or ALL of them.
Best of all...
that also means that YOU
are in charge of your own
HOMEWORK:)
I am super happy that
we will be having
"special guests"
traveling to our classroom
who will be participating
every Saturday...
as well as
from Fat Quarter Shop...
who are my amazing publishers!
Week One focus is letter "A"
and just look at this adorable one made by
Melanie from A Bit of Scrap Stuff
And this super cute one made by
Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl

Have so been looking forward to this - and super love your blog post starting us off on our way for our first schoolroom session. Thank you for being our teacher, and for all the fun and excitement ahead. This homework will be immensely enjoyed :)!
Ahhhh!! Back to school, and you're the favorite teacher! We can all be "teacher's pet". I love this book, and love to personalize things - I won't be starting straight away, but will catch up. Fun stuff!
So, are you sewing on "my" Emdeko machine ??? I heard through the grapevine that you had one. I love mine !!! It is a real workhorse, right along with my OLD 830 Bernina.
FUN
Yes it is and I am excited to be participating
