CUTWORK SOFTWARE

If you enjoyed the cutwork webinar as we did last Saturday then you surely will enjoy this pillow I found here this am.

Then as I was reading the instructions I realized it was made using a fusible vinyl film and a separate unit that attaches to your computer. Not my intention to suggest any other method than using our cutwork software for the letters and all. Cute pillow idea though.

NEW YEAR'S DAY PROJECT

Plans are  underway for our 2011 class. I will be taking the supply list into the store later this afternoon so sign up when you can. This project will incorporate embroidery during the class and make a tablerunner using the techniques I will show you in class.
You could use them to turn a this project into a quilt. We will actually do embroidery and quilting using embroidery during the class. I'll have machines available for embroidery in case you do not own an embroidery machine - just indicate that is needed when you sign up for the class so I will know how many I need to have available.
Hope to see you there!

SOFTWARE SAMPLER
Join me this Saturday at 1pm for the last Software Sampler class of 2010.

UPDATE
Due to damage control at the shop (water damage) the class for this Saturday has been cancelled. Will try to schedule it as soon as possible.
Also, I did not leave the supply list at the shop so please contact me directly if you want to sign up for the class and I will then send you the information.
Amanda has everything under control at the store and I'm not sure when they will be able to reopen.
Not to worry - Strawberry Patches reopened in the afternoon. Yeah!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Wedding Hanky

CeCe did this for a special wedding gift. She was having problems trying to figure out which stabilizer to use. She didn't want to have to wash it after the embroidery so I suggested using a couple layers of the lightweight tearaway stabilizer from OESD. When the emboidery is finished carefully remove the stabilizer a layer at a time. Great job CeCe!!

BERNINA CUTWORK SOFTWARE

Please be my guest and join us at 8am, Saturday November 20th in the classroom to watch the 1 hour, live Bernina webinar - "Cutwork Tool and Software".

Software Sampler class will be on Saturday, November 20th at 1pm. Due to the holidays this class will be a special combination of 2 months of software lessons related to different uses of lettering, as created within your Bernina embroidery software. Projects such as a bag flag, gift tags, luggage tags and greeting cards will be discussed and are perfect for those quick gift ideas.

We also have this session of Software Sampler available Saturday, November 27th at 1pm.

The Software Sampler class will begin at 1pm and is well worth the price of admission!

See you Saturday!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Happy Veterans Day

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11th as Veterans Day and called upon Americans everywhere to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace.

In 1968, Congress moved Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. However, it became apparent that the November 11th date was historically significant to a great many Americans. As a result, Congress formally returned the observance of Veterans Day to its traditional date in 1978.


The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held each year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery. At 11 a.m., a color guard, made up of members from each of the military services, renders honors to America's war dead during a tradition-rich ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
 

It's November 3rd

All I can say is I'm sooo glad that the election commercials and all are finally finished!
THANK GOODNESS.

Now get ready because Christmas is 7 weeks away. OMG!!
Speaking of gifts, have to pay our property taxes. So much for that wave of gift giving thoughts.

Below is my block 4 from the Raggedy Ann quilt bom

project. I don't have the borders attached because I want to try the method that Sharon Pedersen uses for quilting the block as you go. Guess I need to figure out how I want to quilt the block. I do have until the next block is published on the 20th to get it done.
