This is a busy summer for me with conventions and personal travel. Can you believe my daughter, Megan, is turning 30 years old in July? Roby and I are going back to the east coast to celebrate with her. Then, in July and August, BERNINA, Baby Lock and Janome are all having their conventions. Two will be held in Las Vegas in July, and it is going to be HOT! So, that means new machines and accessories are coming. Please watch your emails for special launch events.
If you own a BERNINA 790 or 880, call me at 970-242-1890, because there is a huge upgrade you are going to want, and if I order them at convention, they will be at a special reduced price.
We plan on having Trista back from maternity leave by July if all goes well. The fall calendar is full of wonderful events for the quilter as well as the embroidery enthusiast. Be sure to save the dates and sign up soon, classes will fill up quickly.
