Too good to be true
Kansas City, Kansas City here I come. Two newsletters in a month. What is this world coming too? A few newsworthy items to share with you:
Bernina Celebrate 8!
This is the latest promotion; All the specials and promotions from the Spring is in Bloom sale are continuing as Bernina Celebrate 8! These offers and promotions are only available to Dealers who are attending the launch of the new Bernina 830 at Bernina University in Kansas City. Your Bernina Lady is really going to Bernina University this year (July 15 to 21). I am so excited I am practically busting out of my skin. For those of you that have known me over the years you can just imagine how excited I am. I have packed a lot of classes into the few days that I am there so be prepared to many new ideas. The Bernina Celebrate 8! Promotion ends July 31, 2008.
You may sign up for the webcast of this new machine launch at the Bernina USA website. This machine is touted to have 70 exclusive features and the longest extended arm of any home sewing machine. I can’t wait.
Road Trips Coming Up
The Bernina Lady is New Brunswick bound on July 3 at River Gallery demonstrating the Bernina Products on July 5 and 6.
Sande Gunning, owner of River Gallery and I, are committed to bringing Bernina to New Brunswick. Sande will now carry a 440 Quilter’s Edition so that you may pop in and see it. Demo’s are also available. The 440 Quilter’s Edition is by far the favourite machine for sewers and quilters. It is nicely priced during the Bernina Celebrate 8 promotion. The 440 QE is available as a machine only, or as a sewing embroidery machine. Would you like to add embroidery later on? This option is available for you.
Sande will also be carrying a small inventory of Bernina feet and accessories to tie you over until the next Bernina Lady visit. I will continue to visit on a routine, scheduled basis. Drop in on either of these two days. Other machines will be available to view and try and you can see our latest creation: A sweatshirt created with wool and some fancy stitches. I’ve called it “Bernina meets wool.” Sande also has some yummy hand-dyed wools which I will attempt to make into a mini needle punched landscape. It could be interesting to see the final creation.
Incase the next Newsletter is delayed for any reason, I’ll let you know now that I will be at Harbour Quilt Company on July 26 with machines. Drop by and check out what the new 830 is all about. Demonstrations will also be available this day. This is Kim’s annual Christmas in July Event.
Bernina Club Classes are almost over for this semester. They will resume in September. These classes are available to all Bernina owners and they are free if you purchase your machine from The Bernina Lady. A small charge applies if you purchased your machine elsewhere.
Work’s in Progress will continue at Avonport Discount Fabrics on the last Wednesday of each month over the summer. This is a day for all sewers (not just Bernina owners) to drop in and sit and stitch on any project they are currently working on. If you need a little extra help or inspiration I will be there to guide you. It’s a drop-in kind of day so you can stay for the full day (9:30-3:30) or come by for the morning or afternoon. What a wonderful way to spend a day with fellow quilters, sewers and our machines. If you would like to borrow a machine for the day, please contact me ahead of time.
The next Newsletter will be all about Bernina University. Until then, have a marvelous June. If it’s raining outside, sit with your Bernina. This is right up there with reading a good book and having a cup of tea. And remember: If I am on the road, Carol is always available by phone or email (she checks my emails while I am away). My husband also listens to voicemail and contacts me should the need arise. I’m thinking he’s liking being a “Bernina Man.”
