Spelling Bee Saturday!! - Letter "A"

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.

CLICK HERE

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 

Kimberly and the Girls 

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
