I love my job at Strawberry Patches! We have the best customers, we really do. I had people coming by the shop today - all day, just to show me something or needing a question answered or just to tell me how much they love their Berninas! Just makes you feel wonderful that you can share your love of sewing and embroidery with them. Patti is a new comer to embroidery and she came by today feeling totally frustrated and ready to give up. I sat down with her, her machine and her laptop and was able to walk her through everything. The best part was (and we both got a real chuckle out of this) she had ordered some designs online and when I showed her how portfolio worked in version 6 she was amazed to see all the embroidery designs she had purchased online! A lot that she said she'd not seen before!! We worked everything out and before she left gave me 2 big hugs because she was so relieved to have everything working.
Then she came back in later and left me 2 Halloween cupcakes. We enjoyed those tonight after dinner. Yummy!! Thank you Patti!
I love my job at Strawberry Patches!

Minkee PJs

While wondering through lingerie in Sears, what of all things do I see on the wall in front of me?! Minkee!! Minkee pjs for us Moms! I didn't buy any but checked out the cut of them. We're talking super easy, quick and simple. Stretch and Sew ring a bell anyone? The pants are just the easy elastic waist style - just like super easy pajama patterns you've seen. No fit there except in the elastic. The top had smooth minkee with the bump trim. I'm thinking of all the pretty new minkees print patterns we have and how snuggly those would feel! Now, just add a large beautiful monogram and you have one very special gift for those hard to please gals!

Very Cute!!!

I Wanna Be A Rock Star !!

We were hamming it up yesterday while everyone was at the courthouse! How does this relate to embroidery? Read on... when Amanda and I were at V6 software training SHE wanted to go shopping. Well, one of the stores we passed was a Disney store. This was a week before Caitline's birthday. What do they have sale but Hannah Montana costumes! She has gotten more fun out of this outfit it was definitely worth it. Yes, those are large sequins attached to the whole front. The pants are glittery stretch fabrics and she is struttin' her stuff for her fans in this picture. What a gal!

I'll be posting pictures soon of the birdhouses for November embroidery club.
