Dear Quilters,

Happy New Year!!!..... I wake up each morning thinking how lucky I am. I love what I do, I work with a fabulous staff, I have a very supportive husband, two wonderful daughters and so many wonderful friends like you.

We will start the year vending at the annual Tucson Quilt Show. Be sure to stop by and say "hello" and see a few of our new quilts for 2012, plus a preview of our 2012 First Saturday Quilt. The Sewing Room staff will be there to show off the wonderful stitches the BERNINA machines can do, plus come try the BERNINA Quilt Frame and QuiltMotion Software. Watch the machine glide over the quilt……

There will be changes to this year's First Saturday and Appliqué Day program, so you don't want to miss the first meeting with Carol. Cathy will continue with her Wild and Woolly Club plus she will host a new session called "Sew and Sit". Suzanne will be teaching a fabulous Jean Jacket made with a serger. Helen will be teaching several classes including a new class called Hand Appliqué: Beyond the Basics. We will be offering three different Machine Quilting classes this session. Sue will be teaching free motion quilting and BSR Blast and Pam will be teaching machine quilting using the walking foot. So clean your machine and clear space for your 2012 projects with our talented teachers.

Congratulations to Mary Beck, who has her quilt, Hawaiian Quilt in the most recent issue of "Through the Needle". Great job Mary! She loves the Cut Work Tool, just mention it and her eyes light up. If you haven't seen the magazine, just go to the BERNINA website.

I hope you are receiving our weekly e-mail, if not, sign-up today. We remind you of the coming classes, great specials, new merchandise at the SR and QB or classes we have added to our current schedule.
