Clubs and Other Ongoing Events

Our Elm Creek Quilting group has evolved into a project and demonstration quilting group. If you are working on an Elm Creek quilt, of course you are welcome to bring and work on it. We are going to be working on a variety of projects through the year. Our Jan. meeting will feature a demonstration by Marianne on scarfs, with time following to make a beautiful scarf. Later in the spring we are planning to work ahead on Christmas gifts and ornaments for the Sew Biz tree at the Inn at Virginia Tech and the Virginia Quilt museum. Then a trip to the museum to present the ornaments is in order. All levels of quilt experience are welcome, including beginners.

Stop in to visit, knit, crochet and to see what's new. Bring your work in progress, "show and tell" about finished projects, and get ideas from others.

Do you have a serger gathering dust? Did you know you can do much more than finish seams with your serger? This new club will teach you many things you can do with a serger and you will have a great project to take home at the end of the class.

After careful consideration of all the excellent suggestions from our club members, our 2 machine sewing clubs have been combined into one! At each meeting a project will be offered ( suggestions welcome) that will expand the techniques experience of our machine owners and emphasize FUN. All BERNINA and Elna owners who purchased thier machines at Sew Biz are welcome. There is no membership fee! Please sign up as soon as possible so you will receive information about each meeting by email. If you would like to come but are not able to bring your machine for club meetings, you can reserve a classroom machine ahead of time.

Breakfast club is a relaxing time to enjoy a breakfast treat, a cup of tea or coffee, visit with each other and see what's new at Sew Biz. A sample of every fabric that has arrived at Sew Biz since the previous Club meeting will be given to those attending. These swatches are useful for coordinating fabrics for your future projects. New tools, patterns, books, etc. will be introduced. Please call or email at least the day prior to say you are coming.
