Hi Sewing Friends!

Boy oh boy, the new 7 Series BERNINA machines are in high demand. It is one of the most talked about machines of the decade and is a dream to sew on. If you haven’t had achance to take it for a test drive, you should treat yourself!   Have you seen the newest Husqvarna Viking gem? The Opal is affordably priced and full featured. Come in for a demonstration today. Looking to advance your skills in quilting? Or just want to socialize with fellow quilters? We’re excited about our New Quilting Club. It will meet the first Friday of each month from 10:00 am to noon and is for all levels of experience. Dee will demonstrate new techniques, tools and trends in the quilting industry as well as tried and true tips. As with all of our clubs, the first session is complementary, so come and check it out - please pre-register, as space is limited.

Thank you for your support in 2012, we wish the very best to you and your family for a prosperous and healthy 2013!

Kris, Doni and your friends at Ann Arbor Sewing Center

Coming Soon: Botanical Garden Quilt

I saw a quilt made up from a new embroidery design called Botanical Garden at BERNINA University and I fell in love with it!!  It was stitched out on beautiful linen.  I showed it to Sylvia and she fell in love too!!  She sent me these pictures of the first design that she has stitched out.  She will be teaching it as an upcoming class.  We have the embroidery designs available now and most of the linen needed for the project. Once all the linen is in stock, we will be kitting it up.  Let us know if you would like one saved for you! 

Fun weekend with the Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild

We had a nice weekend at the Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild show this weekend. This is a picture of our booth. We had fun visiting with some of our sewing friends and meeting some new ones. It is so amazing to see all the talent in our area!!

New fabric line

We just brought out a cute new fabric line by Wilmington Prints called Jingle Bell Snowmen. We made up a throw-quilt from all of the browns, creams and blue prints in this line. Although, you can use the snowmen prints for a more seasonal look. If you go to www.wilmingtonprints.com you can get the free pattern and see what else you can make up out of this line. It's adorable!
