Bernina 360!

One of our favorite Bloggers and Pattern Designers has the funniest post and it's just too good not to share.
We think the pic says it all but, for the full scoop on how she quilted herself into her quilt click on the link below.

Here's a pressing issue.... Why is the pressing ham so unattractive?

I mean really are they trying to keep costs down by using material found in an abandon Scottish castle? Muslin and Tartan are soooooo 1523!



That being said -- We sell this ham at Bernina NW

 Bernina lovers this is a call for action, we need right this wrong.

As I see it we have 2 options.

Option One -- Make your own pressing ham in pretty fabric using tutorial on No Big Dill's Blog. tailors-ham-tutorial

Or

Option Two -- We start an email campaign to Dritz demanding fashion forward colors and patterns. We insist sales will increase if we're not limited to plaid and boring. We should demand an better ham for better living. Darn it, it's our right as an American! Let freedom from ugly hams ring!

What do you think Bernina Lovers -- Are you with me?

Okay that being said -- Gloria has a class Sunday May 15th @3pm called Pressing Issues (no it's not about our issue with ugly hams - it's about how to use the darn thing) I'm sure you all want to come so please, be nice if you call (206-523-4739) and sign-up and the class is full. Don't worry we'll schedule more.

 Those who where blessed to meet this amazing woman say she was gracious, charming and simply incredible. Actually, they can't say enough good things about her and once they get going -it's hard to stop.

If you love your Bernina knee lift, your Bernina 830 (old), stretch stitches, and a computerized sewing machine.

Please take a moment today, on Mother's Day, to send out a big thank you to the universe for Odette Ueltshi!

Okay -- get closer to your computer.

I don't want everyone to find out about this....
I just heard from a friend of mine and couldn't wait to tell you.....

Bernina is going to have a financing special on May 12th.
It's 24 months -- no interest, equal payment on Bernina's over $1,000.

Yea - I can't believe it either.
You know what this means?
You can get a Bernina 350 for $50 a month or a Bernina 440 (with stitch regulator) for about $130 a month.
And don't get me started about sergers...
Okay I'm started , an 1150mda for $50 a month and a 1300mdc for about $75
Does it get any better?? I think not!


okay - I wasn't going to reveal my source but, I can tell you don't believe me. The friend who told me is Barb L. and she works for Bernina. So it's a for sure thing.



You know it just doesn't feel like home until you hang the family portraits. Thankfully Mark with his tall ladder and steady hand on the power drill came by and hung family history.

Don't they look so beautiful going up the stairs?



Great Great Grandpa from 1894 is on top, Great Grandma Bernina from 1932 in middle, and Great Uncle Bernina from 1944 is at the end.





 I truly LOVE these pictures. I think they date back to Nelson's Bernina (Bernina Dealership in the '70's). And it's been one of those things that is handed down from Seattle Bernina dealership to Seattle Bernina Dealership.

It's sad but true -- If my store (god forbid) caught on fire and I had to choose one thing to save -- I would rescue these pictures. Then fill out insurance forms for the rest of the stuff. No judgement! Ha ha.
