Sewing Bee

“Bee” is derived from the Old English bēn meaning “a prayer, a favor.” By the late eighteenth century, bee had become commonly associated with the British dialect form, been or bean, referring to the joining of neighbors to work on a single activity to help a neighbor in need: sewing bee, quilting bee, etc. This derivation counters a long held belief that “bee” refers to the buzzing insect and the social nature of a beehive.

Inspirational Quotes

""You see things and you say "Why?". But I dream things that never were and I say "Why not?"

~ George Bernard Shaw


""To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

"There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness."

~ Mahatma Gandhi

""The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you will find it."

~ Steve Jobs

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race"

~ Calvin Coolidge

"Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."

~ Steve Jobs

"To thrive in life you need three bones. A wishbone. A backbone. And a funny bone."

~ Reba McEntire

"If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember this whole thing was started by a mouse"

"You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality"

-- Walt Disney
