A big apology from the Blog Department at Gina’s Bernina for not getting to Blog much the past 10 days. I have a good excuse… it has been crazy busy here during the East Tennessee Shop Hop!! But today, I came in early, got some coffee and started to think about Blogging!

We have been demonstrating “TEXTURE MAGIC”. Check out the examples Ginny Hatfield has sewn using this fantastic product. This makes a great accent on bags, yokes, dimensional quilting….. and very EASY! Come in anytime  and check it out if you didn’t get here during Shop Hop.

Fabulous Christmas Fabric Arriving Daily!

Just a little candy for your eyes…. fun new fabrics….

The above collection also comes in Red!! HOW FUN ARE THESE FABRICS?????

Hey you cycling enthusiasts….. how about this fabric?

This collection comes in yellow, gray and lavender!

Wow! We are tripping over empty bolts of fabric still scattered throughout the store from last Saturday’s 50% off sale. Busy is putting it mildly. It was lots of fun. Thank you to all who took advantage of our sale. Of course today I sit surrounded with brand new fabric that just came in the back door. In the back and out the front – isn’t that a motto for retail? Keep in mind, we love you to bring it back in the front and show us your fabulous finished or almost finished projects.

Just what is surrounding my desk as I write this blog??? Below is a sampling of the sweet collection by Moda Fabrics called Fresh Cottons. Come in and see…. I think Jessica ordered the majority of this charming collection. Wouldn’t it fun to make a simple big block quilt with the whole collection? Of course, there are many patterns that lend itself to this collection here too.
