What is a Sip & Sew?
Sip & Sew is my term for "quilting bee". What is a "quilting bee" you could be asking yourself."Quilting bees originated during the nineteenth century and gained much popularity during that time and continued in popularity long after. A "bee" is another word for a party or social function and in this case, it's a quilting party, thus it was named "quilting bee." But it's much more than just a party."
The purpose of Sip & Sew is to help you bring the bee to your home. Pick a date from the online calendar, invite some friends to your home, choose an available kit, you and your friends (whomever you want to invite to your "Bee") each go online and purchase the kit
If they do not have a sewing machine available, we have 5 Brother XR3774 sewing machines that can be rented for the date of the event. Rental includes bobbin thread for event, set up and tear down for even. Top thread for applique kits will need to be purchased.
You provide your beverage of choice, be prepared to have loads of fun and let the "Bee" begin.
